Congress.gov lists H.R. 21 as the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, with status Passed House and latest action Senate referral. The cosponsor list includes Rep. Brad Knott [R-NC-13] with a cosponsored date of January 21, 2025.
Assessments
Knott took concrete same-term federal actions aligned with parts of the promise: he cosponsored H.R. 21, an abortion-related protection bill, and voted for H.R. 6945, which would clarify state authority to fund pregnancy centers and passed the House. However, the record does not show full enactment, direct support for state unborn-protection laws as such, or a completed protection specifically for faith-based crisis pregnancy centers. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
The promise is a broad commitment to support pro-life state laws and protect faith-based crisis pregnancy centers, but the provided evidence does not show a verified delivered outcome or a clearly documented, claim-specific legislative or oversight action by Rep. Knott. His official bio and press archive do not surface abortion or crisis-pregnancy-center work, and the committee record confirms only unspecified formal participation without showing that it advanced this exact promise. Because there is not enough evidence of fulfillment, failure, or a serious claim-specific attempt, the best judgment is unresolved.
