Why this status
McDowell is a cosponsor of several anti-abortion bills in this Congress, including H.R. 7, which would bar federal funding for abortion, and H.R. 21, the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act. We have not reviewed every vote he has cast, so we can't yet confirm the "100%" part of the promise.
OUR ANALYSIS based on the evidence below. A vote alone doesn't count as fulfilling a promise.
