The Act was called "the first major national pro-life bill in more than a

decade."

The order gave conservative Attorney General Jeff Sessions greater authority regarding religious liberty policy. Although well-received by some Christians and conservatives, others criticized it for being ineffective and easy to repeal. According to the Family Research Council nearly one year later, the order helped faith-based groups give healthcare coverage to 13.7 million Americans, among other positive effects.
