Sponsor: Rep. Self, Keith [R-TX-3] (Introduced 01/31/2025). Committees: House - Judiciary. Latest Action: House - 01/31/2025 Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. This bill has the status Introduced.
The current press-release list tops out on May 21, 2026 with a veterans hearing-aid bill, followed by other unrelated items on May 19, May 14, May 13, May 12, April 30, and April 20. No abortion-specific action appears in the visible current list.
Recent Votes for 05/21/2026 include H.R. 6047 (Veterans Benefits Expansion Act), H.R. 1041 (Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act), and H.R. 1329 (Smithsonian American Women’s History Museum Act). None of the visible recent votes are abortion-specific.
Assessments
For a U.S. House member, this promise is best read as an effort pledge rather than a promise to single-handedly end abortion nationwide. Self used his federal office to advance the stated goal: he voted for pro-life legislation in January 2024 and sponsored H.R. 895 on January 31, 2025 to strengthen enforcement against a specific abortion procedure. Those actions show concrete same-term work to restrict abortion procedures and advocate for unborn rights. The broader policy outcome was not achieved, but the promise language was to work toward it, and he did so while in office.
Self has taken same-term pro-life actions, including voting for related measures and sponsoring H.R.895 to strengthen enforcement of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. However, the bill remains only introduced and referred to the House Judiciary Committee, and the broader promised outcome of ending abortion procedures and protecting unborn rights has not been enacted federally. This supports serious effort but not delivery.
The promise was framed as an effort commitment: to work to end abortion procedures and protect unborn rights. The evidence shows same-term activity consistent with that commitment, including votes for pro-life related measures and introduction of H.R.895 to strengthen enforcement of the Partial-Birth Abortion Ban Act. These actions did not end abortion procedures broadly or become enacted law, but they do fulfill the narrower promise to work toward that policy goal.
