I urge you to reconsider H.R. 722, the bill to restrict reproductive rights nationwide. This uncompromising legislation would have devastating consequences for women's health and autonomy over their own bodies. Respect for personal freedom and medical privacy should be paramount. Criminalizing abortion will not stop the practice, only drive it underground in potentially unsafe environments. Rather than stripping constitutional rights, we should focus on improving access to comprehensive reproductive healthcare, education, and support services. Women's wellbeing depends on preserving their ability to make deeply personal choices with their doctors. I hope you will stand firm in defending reproductive freedom.
