Women and families need to be allowed to make their own decisions about how and when to start a family, which includes the use of IVF. That is why I have co-sponsored legislation to protect just that. #SOTU.
Extreme Republicans are waging attacks on women's reproductive rights in Congress & in states across the country. I'm proud to stand with @POTUS against these efforts to strip away fundamental freedoms and pass the Women's Health Protection Act to defend abortion access. #SOTU
Democrats are defending our fundamental freedoms. Access to birth control, abortion, and fertility services must be protected. I’m fighting to protect your reproductive rights. #SOTU https://t.co/wHvHVaPVeu
It’s been nearly 2 years since #SCOTUS overturned Roe, & every day we are seeing the consequences of that decision. These extreme abortion bans and attacks on IVF are wrong, & I’m glad that @POTUS will continue the fight for women’s reproductive rights across the country. #SOTU
Watching @POTUS Biden look the GOP in the eye and commit to protecting the right to an abortion for every woman across America is so powerful. I’m right behind him in this fight. Democrats will continue fighting against Republican attempts to ban abortion nationwide! #SOTU2024 https://t.co/cqEBl9FVaw
Healthcare decisions should be made between patients and physicians, not politicians. I am proud to join @POTUS and @ProChoiceCaucus members in the fight to safeguard reproductive rights and access to health care.
Abortion is health care. As MAGA Republicans in Congress press for a national abortion ban, I will fight for reproductive care, including the right to an abortion, for all. Keep big brother government out of the exam rooms. #SOTU
.@POTUS said it best. Women's access to health care is under attack across the country – from abortion care to IVF treatments. Now more than ever, we must protect & expand reproductive freedom and abortion access nationwide.
Health care decisions should be made between patients and physicians, not politicians. I am proud to join @POTUS and @ProChoiceCaucus members in the fight to safeguard reproductive rights and access to health care. #ReproductiveFreedom #SOTU
Access to reproductive care lets Americans make their own choices about family planning and their health. I stand with @POTUS. Let's protect access to abortion, birth control, and IVF. #SOTU2024 https://t.co/V6iJeFZOif
There is no question that reproductive rights are under attack and extremist MAGA Republicans want to pass a national abortion ban. This should be deeply concerning to all Americans. I'll always fight to defend your rights. #SOTU2024

Reproductive health care is under attack, and it was never going to stop at abortion. I stand firmly with leaving health care decisions between a woman and her doctor. We must stand up to protect access to abortion, birth control, and IVF.
Just joined @ProChoiceCaucus & @DemWomenCaucus to introduce my #ReproSOTU guest, Dr. Caitlin Bernard. She's one of the last two abortion providers in Indiana.
