REP. STUTZMAN CELEBRATES MARCH FOR LIFE WITH CHEMICAL ABORTION AWARENESS ACT INTRODUCTION
Evidence
Congress.gov lists H.R. 7237, the Chemical Abortion Risk Awareness Act, with Marlin Stutzman as sponsor; it was introduced in the House on 2026-01-23, referred to the House Committee on Energy and Commerce, and its tracker status is "Introduced".
On the current Congress.gov member page, Stutzman's most recent listed action is H.R. 7586, introduced in the House on 2026-02-13; the chemical-abortion bill remains listed only as introduced, with no later action shown on the page.
Assessments
Stutzman took a direct step toward the promise by sponsoring H.R. 7237, the Chemical Abortion Risk Awareness Act, introduced on January 23, 2026. But the available record shows the bill remained only at the introduced/referred stage, with no passage, enactment, or other implemented federal outcome ensuring women were made aware of the risks. Under the stated rule, a serious legislative attempt that did not achieve the promised result counts as never, with effort credit.
