Congress.gov identifies H.R.4611 as the EACH Act of 2025, a bill to ensure affordable abortion coverage and care, and lists Rep. Maggie Goodlander as an original cosponsor dated 2025-07-22. The latest listed action was referral to the Veterans' Affairs Subcommittee on Health on 2025-12-19, with status still Introduced.
Assessments
The promise was broad and action-oriented: to fight for reproductive freedom in Congress, not to secure enactment of a specific law. During her House term, Goodlander original-cosponsored federal reproductive-rights legislation, including bills addressing abortion access through VA care and abortion coverage. Those actions are direct congressional advocacy within the promised policy area, so the promise is fulfilled even though the bills remained introduced rather than enacted.
