Evidence
August Pfluger(TX) is listed as sponsor of the Conscience Protection Act of 2025 (H.R. 3411), introduced in the House on May 14, 2025. The bill would codify protections for health care providers who decline to perform, pay for, or refer for abortions and create a civil right of action.
The bill page identifies Pfluger, August [R-TX-11] as the introducer and shows the bill status as Introduced.
Congress.gov currently lists H.R. 3411 as introduced on 2025-05-14 and referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, with the bill still shown as having the status Introduced and no later legislative action on the page.
Assessments
Pfluger has taken concrete action consistent with the promise by sponsoring the Conscience Protection Act of 2025, a religious-liberty and conscience-protection bill. But the cited legislative record shows the bill only reached introduction and referral, with no enactment or broader completed policy change protecting religious practice from government interference. Because he remains in office and the term is still ongoing, this is better treated as an active but not yet completed promise rather than full delivery or a final failure.
Pfluger materially pursued the promise by introducing H.R. 3411, the Conscience Protection Act of 2025, aimed at conscience-based religious liberty protections for health care providers. However, the evidence shows the bill was only introduced and not enacted, so the promised protection from government interference was not delivered as a federal policy outcome. This counts as a serious same-term legislative effort but not fulfillment.
