The Supreme Court has allowed Idaho to criminalize doctors for providing abortion care, including emergency life-saving care, with punishments of up to 5 years in prison. Lawmakers and advocates criticize this as dangerous, unconscionable, and an attack on women's healthcare. They argue that real pro-life policies should focus on enhancing the Child Tax Credit and supporting prenatal healthcare. Critics highlight the impact on women's health, stating that the decision will fuel efforts to restrict access to abortion care.
Abortion is health care, and Republicans’ drive towards a nationwide abortion ban is putting women’s lives at risk. We must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
“We have physicians saying we want to help these patients but our hands are tied because we don’t know how to make decisions and the state has made threats.” Advocates expect Supreme Court Idaho abortion decision to fuel efforts to restrict access. https://t.co/60Jf75zReR
Extreme Republicans claim to care about "Right to Life" but won't protect pregnant women on the brink of death. I spoke against their latest hypocrisy: funneling taxpayer dollars to anti-abortion centers, which don't require licensed medical professionals on staff. https://t.co/rLIHCN86BK
If Republicans were truly pro-life, they would expand the Child Tax Credit to help with child poverty & childcare. Instead, they are pushing their extremist agenda to reroute TANF dollars away from families & children who need it most to deceitful “crisis pregnancy centers.” https://t.co/04LilUVr7Q
Today my GOP colleagues are marking up a bill branded “pro-life.” In reality, it props up religious anti-abortion pregnancy centers where non-medical personnel mislead vulnerable women. Real pro-life policies fight poverty like the #CTC & expand access to prenatal health care. https://t.co/WUeJLzfTYi

Today my Republican colleagues are voting on a bill they brand “pro-life”. In reality, it strips women of healthcare, giving federal funds to religious anti-abortion clinics. Pro-life legislation would be enhancing the Child Tax Credit and supporting prenatal health care. https://t.co/d1ANeBWNX3
The Supreme Court has just allowed women dying in emergency rooms in Idaho to be denied abortion care. Now, their doctors can also be punished for providing care to protect women’s health. This is an all-out attack on women and health care workers. We can’t back down.
The far-right Supreme Court is allowing Idaho to criminalize doctors who provide life-saving abortion care, even when patients' lives are at risk. This is dangerous and unconscionable. We must fight back and affirm abortion care as the essential health care that it is. https://t.co/4pEh7djsR1
.@SCOTUS has allowed Idaho to punish doctors with up to 5 years in prison for providing abortion care – even if it’s emergency, life-saving care. This is absolutely horrifying and will mean a death sentence for Idaho patients. We will fight this. https://t.co/ZAYBvHnbGM
