Co-sponsor the Reproductive Health Act to enshrine the right to choose into Illinois state law.
Occurrences
Evidence
The House health care issue page describes Ramirez as a longtime advocate for reproductive rights and access to safe abortions, and says she has sponsored reproductive-rights legislation including the Women’s Health Protection Act and the Reproductive Health Care Accessibility Act.
Teen Vogue reported that, as an Illinois state legislator, Ramirez authored and sponsored a bill to codify abortion rights in the state.
The article states that Illinois passed the Reproductive Health Act in 2019 and that Governor Pritzker signed it into law on June 12, 2019.
Assessments
The promise was fulfilled. Evidence indicates Ramirez, while serving in the Illinois legislature, directly participated in the effort to codify abortion rights by authoring and sponsoring the Reproductive Health Act, and the law was enacted in 2019 when Governor Pritzker signed it. Because the promised action was to help pass Illinois state-law protection for abortion rights and her contribution was direct and substantial during the same legislative period, this counts as full delivery rather than partial credit.
