Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsLast reviewed:These are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Thune personally introduced and led the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and sought unanimous consent to pass it on June 18, 2024, but Democrats objected and it was blocked; he also cosponsored other pro-life measures (e.g., the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act, S.62). A national 15-week limit was not enacted and, post-Dobbs, was not brought to a Senate vote. Because Thune formally sponsored/pushed pro-life legislation that was blocked in the chamber rather than ignoring the issue, this rates ATTEMPTED.
