In parliament, Thill served as member of the Committee on Cultural Affairs and Education.[3] In addition to her committee assignments, she was a member of the parliamentary friendship groups with the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali and the Central African Republic.
In 2019, Thill publicly opposed a bioethics law extending to homosexuals and single women to have free access to fertility treatments such as in vitro fertilisation (IVF) under France's national health insurance; it was one of the campaign promises of President Emmanuel Macron, and marked the first major social reform of his five-year term.[4] She was subsequently excluded from La République en Marche[5] and later joined the Union of Democrats and Independents.[6]
She lost her seat in the first round of the 2022 French legislative election.[7]
