Evidence
May 7, 2026 ... Representatives Kathy Castor (FL-14), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA-01), and Lauren Underwood (IL-14) reintroduced H.R. 8651, the Advancing Safe Medications for Moms and Babies Act. The bipartisan legislation ... would modernize FDA regulations, raise awareness of research that includes pregnant and lactating women, and encourage high-quality priority research projects to be conducted at the NIH.
The newsletter says H.J.Res. 165 would turn back the clock on Title IX ... and that H.R. 8281, the SAVE Act, is an extreme attempt to suppress voting by requiring a birth certificate ... People who have changed their names, including millions of married women, could not use their birth certificates as the name differs.
U.S. Rep. Kathy Castor ... has been an unwavering voice in Congress to advance economic opportunities for all of our neighbors... Castor has worked to aggressively to elevate these issues until everyone in Congress and America understands that when women succeed, America succeeds!... Castor has helped lead efforts that passed the U.S. House this year that take dramatic steps forward to ensure that generations of women enjoy equal rights, equal treatment and equal opportunities.
Assessments
The promise was framed as a commitment to fight for women’s rights and voting rights, not to enact a specific statutory result. During the same federal term, Castor materially advanced women’s-rights related policy by reintroducing bipartisan legislation on maternal and pregnancy-related clinical research, and she publicly opposed voting legislation she characterized as suppressive and harmful to married women and others with name changes. The evidence shows active federal advocacy on both parts of the promise, which is sufficient for a broad 'fight for' commitment, though not proof of a completed voting-rights statutory outcome.
