As your constituent, I ask you to do everything in your power to ensure everyone has meaningful access to abortion care nationwide. Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, America has been facing a reproductive health crisis. Abortion is banned or severely restricted in more than a dozen states, with devastating consequences. Not satisfied with that, anti-abortion politicians have launched a multi-front attack on medication abortion – and a federal court just agreed to make it harder for people everywhere in the country to get that care, even as the Trump administration has been laying the groundwork for new nationwide restrictions through a sham FDA review. We cannot fix this crisis without a federal right to abortion. Even under Roe v. Wade, people faced serious barriers to accessing abortion care due to cost, distance, arbitrary gestational limits, and immigration status. And many of those barriers still exist today in states where abortion remains legal. That’s why Congress must act to ensure everyone has access to abortion nationwide. Please commit to restoring a federal right to abortion and ensuring true access for all. Any federal solution must not only restore the right to abortion nationwide but go beyond Roe and remove these barriers to access. We need a federal law that not only protects our right to abortion care but also ensures people can get the care they need, regardless of income, immigration status, or where they live.
