We must continue to uplift the stories of and bear witness to those suffering the consequences of a post-Roe world.
I will always stand up for our right to abortion and control over our own bodies—no matter what.

We've seen just how far this Court of unelected judges will overstep—first was Roe, swinging the doors wide open to next strip access to contraception.
We *must* pass the Right to Contraception Act today and leave family planning to families, not politicians.

Birth control is health care, and no one—not the Supreme Court, Congress or your boss—should be able to interfere with your family planning decisions.
I'm proud to support the Right to Contraception Act to federally protect our right to access birth control.

Did you know your tax dollars subsidize hundreds of millions of dollars in union busting activities by corporations?
The No Tax Breaks for Union Busting Act I introduced with Rep. will fix this and give workers their fair shot to unionize.

Unelected judges have already come for our reproductive rights—and it’s clear they don’t intend to stop there.
I'm proud to support the Respect for Marriage Act, moving us a step closer toward enshrining the right to marry the person you love under federal law.

What's happening in our country is dangerous and outrageous. I had a miscarriage several years ago, and the last thing I needed was politicians dictating how my doctor and I could best protect my health. My heart breaks for the women who are suffering through this now. twitter.com/PamBelluck/sta…

Accounts like this are popping up across the nation. Your zip code shouldn't determine your access to critical care. We must abolish the filibuster and have #WHPA signed into law.

Here's the account from a New Orleans doctor, who was told by her hospital's lawyer she couldn't perform a D&E on a 16-weeks-pregnant woman whose water broke. Instead, she went through a "painful, hours-long labor to deliver a nonviable fetus, despite her wishes"

Over 400 mass shootings in 2022 alone.
This number alone is astonishing, but the number of lives lost and families ripped apart is even more devastating.
The gun safety bill recently signed into law was a start, but it cannot be the end of our efforts in Congress.

Republicans say my Women’s Health Protection Act goes too far, that Democrats are voting for abortion up until the moment of birth—this is simply not true.

In a post-Roe world, it is imperative we continue fighting for federally protected abortion rights.
Passing #WHPA will ensure everyone, regardless of zip code, can access critical abortion care and have agency over their own body. Abortion is health care. Period.
