Face Value
as passed the HouseHow much of this bill its name accounts for.
- Every bill starts at100
- Nothing counted against it: one area of law, and short enough that length doesn't register.
Face Value measures reach, not honesty. A big bill can be accurately named, and a low score is not an accusation — it means the contents reach further than any short title could describe. Count it yourself ↗ How this is worked out

Who lobbied on this
2 organizationsThese organizations told Congress, in their own quarterly disclosures, that they were lobbying on this bill.

“Pregnant Students Rights Act (H.R.6359/S. 3627) Supporting Pregnant and Parenting Women and Families Act (H.R. 6945/S. 4242) Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act (S.4066)” filing ↗

Most filings say only that an organization lobbied on a bill, not which side it took — where that's the case we say so rather than guessing. Quotes are verbatim from the filing. How this is built.
