The resolution title says it seeks to bring national attention to the maternal and reproductive health crisis in the United States and reduce maternal mortality and morbidity among Black women and birthing people. The cosponsors list includes Rep. Shomari Figures [D-AL].

Figures cosponsored a House resolution centered on the maternal and reproductive health crisis, showing concrete support for maternal-health policy work in office.

The bill is titled 'To ensure affordable abortion coverage and care for every person, and for other purposes.' The cosponsors list includes Rep. Shomari Figures [D-AL].

Figures cosponsored a major abortion-rights bill, which is direct legislative support for protecting reproductive rights, though the measure remained introduced and was not enacted.

Bills and resolutions cosponsored include 'Abortion: ensure affordable abortion coverage for every woman (see H.R. 4611)' and 'Black Maternal Health Week: designate (see H. Res. 332).'

Congressional Record indexing corroborates that Figures cosponsored both abortion-rights and maternal-health measures in his first session.

The page lists a press release: 'Figures Announces Bill to Broaden Health Care Coverage Due to Alabama’s Refusal to Expand Medicaid' and says he is a lead co-sponsor for the COVER Now Act to expand health care coverage to millions of Americans who remain uninsured due to state-level refusals to accept federal Medicaid expansion funds.

Figures publicly backed Medicaid-expansion legislation aimed at broadening health coverage in Alabama, which is relevant to maternal-health access but is not a completed reproductive-rights deliverable.

The Health issue page lists a June 10, 2026 press release saying Figures cleared a major hurdle toward securing $4.25 million for Troy Regional Medical Center and other rural Alabama health facilities.

Within the last 30 days, Figures showed continued active health-access work through a rural-facility funding effort. That is relevant to maternal-health infrastructure, but it still does not show enacted protection for reproductive rights or a completed fix to Alabama’s maternal health crisis.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Figures has materially acted on both parts of the promise while serving in the House, including cosponsoring abortion-rights legislation, supporting a maternal-health resolution, and backing health-coverage measures relevant to Alabama’s maternal-health crisis. But the evidence does not show that these measures were enacted or that he delivered a completed policy outcome protecting reproductive rights or resolving the maternal-health crisis. Under a federal office standard, this supports partial credit for meaningful in-office advancement, not full delivery.

Figures took concrete same-term legislative steps relevant to the promise, including cosponsoring abortion-rights legislation, a Black maternal health resolution, and Medicaid-coverage expansion work tied to Alabama health access. However, the evidence shows advocacy and introduced/cosponsored measures rather than enacted federal policy or a completed outcome that materially addressed Alabama's maternal health crisis or protected reproductive rights. Under the rule for serious but unsuccessful legislative attempts, this is not delivered, with effort credit.
