Evidence

The House Clerk’s roll call page shows H.R. 8373, the Right to Contraception Act, passed the House on July 21, 2022 by a vote of 228-195.

This proves the House floor vote occurred, but it does not prove Sara Jacobs used a discharge petition to force it.

Axios reported that House Democrats launched a discharge petition on June 4, 2024 to try to force a House vote on contraception legislation, led by Katherine Clark and Kathy Manning.

This is concrete evidence that a discharge-petition strategy was actually used on the bill, but the report does not show the petition succeeded in forcing a new vote.

Axios later reported Manning said her focus was on gathering signatures for the June discharge petition rather than adding co-sponsors, indicating the effort was still ongoing months later.

This supports that the discharge-petition effort continued, but it still does not show the petition reached the threshold or produced the targeted House vote.

Assessments

never later_term A for effort

The promised mechanism-and-result was not completed. The House did pass the Right to Contraception Act on July 21, 2022, but the evidence does not show that vote was forced by a discharge petition. A discharge-petition effort on contraception legislation was launched later, in June 2024, but the record provided does not show it reached the threshold or produced the targeted forced House vote, and the cited reporting identifies other House Democrats as the leaders of that effort rather than Sara Jacobs. Under the campaign-office standard, this is a serious later legislative attempt without successful delivery of the promised outcome, so it counts as never rather than delivered or partial.
