Evidence
Representative Magaziner is committed to protecting Social Security and Medicare, protecting abortion rights and holding Washington accountable.
Bills and resolutions cosponsored ... Abortion: ensure affordable abortion coverage for every woman (see H.R. 4611)... limit restrictions on provision of abortion services to protect women’s right to determine whether to continue or end pregnancy and protect health providers ability to provide reproductive services (see H.R. 12)... prohibit interference, under color of State law, with provision of interstate abortion services (see H.R. 4099)... revise regulations banning mailing or receiving of drugs, instruments, equipment, and educational materials relative to medication abortions (see H.R. 2029).
Assessments
Magaziner promised to support codifying Roe v. Wade into federal law, not necessarily to single-handedly enact it. In federal House context, his same-term public commitment to protecting abortion rights and cosponsorship of abortion-rights legislation, including the Women’s Health Protection Act vehicle aimed at protecting access to abortion services nationally, are sufficient evidence that he supported the promised federal codification effort. The underlying policy has not become federal law, but the promise was framed as support, so legislative effort satisfies it.
