She will stand up for the unborn and pro-life values in Congress.

Evidence
The campaign issues page says Maloy is "Standing Up For Our Pro-Life Values" and that she "will stand up for the unborn and our pro-life values in Congress."
Congress.gov shows Rep. Celeste Maloy as a cosponsor of H.R.21, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, with her cosponsorship dated 01/22/2025.
In a House Appropriations Committee markup, Maloy said abortion travel, leave, and reimbursement policies have no place in the defense bill and opposed the amendment keeping them in effect.
Assessments
This was a broad promise to advocate for pro-life positions in Congress rather than a promise to enact a specific law. In her current House term, Celeste Maloy took identifiable congressional actions consistent with that pledge, including cosponsoring the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act in January 2025 and publicly opposing abortion-related Pentagon travel and reimbursement policies during FY2026 defense bill markup in June 2025. Because the promise was framed as standing up for pro-life values, these same-term legislative and committee actions are sufficient to count as delivered.
The promise was an advocacy commitment rather than a pledge to enact a specific abortion-related law. During her congressional term, Maloy took concrete pro-life actions: she cosponsored H.R.21, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, and publicly opposed abortion travel, leave, and reimbursement policies in the FY26 defense bill markup. These actions directly match the promised conduct of standing up for the unborn and pro-life values in Congress.
