Protect reproductive freedom nationwide by stopping Republicans from passing a national abortion ban and working to restore the protections of Roe v. Wade.
Protect reproductive freedom nationwide by opposing a national abortion ban and working to restore Roe v. Wade protections.
Occurrences
Evidence
Congress.gov lists H.R.12 as introduced June 24, 2025, with the official title to protect a person's ability to continue or end a pregnancy and providers' ability to provide abortion services. Rep. Julie Johnson [D-TX-32] is listed as an original cosponsor on June 24, 2025. The current tracker status remains Introduced, with referral to House Energy and Commerce and Judiciary.
H.R.4099 was introduced June 24, 2025, with Julie Johnson of Texas included among the original cosponsors. The bill would prohibit state-law interference with lawful interstate abortion services, including travel across state lines to obtain abortion services and movement of FDA-approved abortion drugs in interstate commerce.
Assessments
Johnson took concrete same-term legislative action by serving as an original cosponsor of H.R.12, the Women's Health Protection Act of 2025, and H.R.4099, the Ensuring Women's Right to Reproductive Freedom Act. Those bills would advance nationwide abortion protections and related interstate access, but both remain only introduced/referred and have not passed Congress or become law. Because the promised nationwide protection/restoration of Roe-like protections has not been delivered, this is a failed serious legislative attempt rather than fulfillment.
