John Cornyn
Role at the time: United States Senator for Texas, posting on his own account on X
Statement summary
Senator John Cornyn posted "All in" on X the day after Hawley introduced the Safeguarding Women from Chemical Abortion Act, endorsing the bill. He formally joined as its first cosponsor the same day. Cornyn was facing a contested Republican primary in Texas at the time.
“All in”
Source for Bill Cassidy's response as chairman of the committee holding the bill, John Cornyn's "All in" post on X, Chuck Schumer's reaction, and Alexis McGill Johnson's statement. Also records that spokespeople for Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski did not respond to questions about the bill, and that the two were the only Republican senators who declined to sign a letter to the Department of Health and Human Services calling for a mifepristone crackdown.
Archived copy (opens in a new tab)Why we used this label
Cornyn's two words are brief but unambiguous in their context: they were posted in direct response to the bill's introduction and accompanied by his cosponsorship the same day. The closest competing label is unclear, given the brevity of the post. That loses because the target and direction are fixed by the surrounding facts, and the accompanying legislative act removes any doubt about which position the words express.
