Congress.gov lists H.R.999, the Right to Contraception Act, as introduced on February 5, 2025, referred to House Energy and Commerce, and still at the Introduced step. The cosponsor table includes Rep. Kristen McDonald Rivet [D-MI-8] with a February 5, 2025 cosponsor date.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): McDonald Rivet took concrete same-term action by cosponsoring the 119th Congress Right to Contraception Act, but the bill had not advanced beyond introduction or become law, so the promise is only partially fulfilled.

Her official first-100-days report says she defended reproductive freedoms by co-sponsoring legislation and supporting lawsuits against attacks on reproductive health care freedoms, including access to birth control, health care clinics, and essential reproductive services; it also says she sent HHS a letter about revoked family-planning funding.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The member's office describes contraception-related advocacy beyond cosponsorship, including litigation support and an HHS letter, showing serious effort but not an enacted federal protection of contraception access.

Public state: unverified As of unknown · legacy_unverified · . Original AI recommendation (not independently established): never. same_term A for effort

McDonald Rivet took same-term federal action by cosponsoring H.R.999, the 119th Congress Right to Contraception Act, and her office cited related advocacy on access to birth control and reproductive health care. But the bill remained only introduced and referred to committee, with no enacted federal protection of contraception access. Because she made a serious legislative attempt but the promised outcome was not delivered, this is scored as never with an effort badge.
