As long as I have the privilege of serving the people of Northwest Washington in Congress, I will stand for the right to safe and legal abortions.
Stand for the right to safe and legal abortions.

Evidence
Rep. Rick Larsen said he joined more than 250 House and Senate Democrats in an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn a Fifth Circuit ruling restricting mifepristone access. The release says he supports suspending the filibuster to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, telehealth medication abortion, and the right to travel across state lines for abortion care.
Assessments
The promise is framed as a stance and advocacy commitment, not a guarantee to enact abortion-rights legislation. The evidence shows Larsen publicly defended abortion access during his current term by joining an amicus brief against restrictions on mifepristone and backing national protections such as the Women’s Health Protection Act, telehealth medication abortion, and interstate travel for care. Those actions are directly consistent with 'stand for the right to safe and legal abortions,' so this counts as delivered in the same term.
