The promise was to continue supporting the pro-life position in Dobbs-related litigation and public advocacy, not necessarily to enact a new statutory result. During Smith's ongoing federal service, the evidence shows repeated same-term public advocacy tied to Dobbs and abortion policy, including March for Life remarks in 2025 and 2026, Dobbs anniversary statements, introduction of a Dobbs commemoration resolution, and votes for Born-Alive legislation. That is sufficient to count the advocacy/support promise as fulfilled in the same term.
