Recent tweets from various U.S. politicians highlight a concerted effort by Republicans to impose nationwide restrictions on abortion, with some states attempting to extend these restrictions to include IVF and contraception. Notably, Alabama has implemented an abortion ban without exceptions for rape or incest, and there are efforts to criminalize travel for abortion services. Politicians like Rep. Kim Schrier and Gov. Gavin Newsom have expressed strong opposition, emphasizing the need to protect women's access to reproductive care. The ACCESS Act was mentioned as a legislative effort to support healthcare providers in states like New Mexico, which are seeing increased demand for services due to restrictive laws in neighboring states. Additionally, the anniversary of a SCOTUS ruling protecting mifepristone, a key abortion medication, underscores ongoing legal battles over its access.
The vast majority of Nevadans support a woman's right to access abortion care, and we've all been outraged to see the far-right attacks on women's freedoms in states across this country. I'm standing with pro-choice Nevadans to fight back and defend abortion access. https://t.co/38ElDCNlyy
One year ago today, the Supreme Court temporarily blocked extreme restrictions on mifepristone. Now SCOTUS is deciding whether to restrict access to the drug — which is used in nearly two-thirds of abortions. We must remain committed to protecting every woman’s right to choose.
For more than 20 years, mifepristone has stood as a safe and effective abortion medication. On this first anniversary of SCOTUS’ ruling that preserved access to this invaluable healthcare, let us reaffirm our commitment to the fight for every woman’s reproductive freedoms.
The threats we are seeing against medication abortion, reproductive services, and IVF are a strong reminder that Republicans will stop at nothing to try to decide for women. Our fight is far from over and we can’t wait any longer to pass my bill to restore these rights.
One year ago today, @SCOTUS voted to protect mifepristone, ensuring safe medication abortions. This year, mifepristone is on the chopping block. I stand firm with my @ProChoiceCaucus colleagues against the erosion of women’s rights to bodily autonomy. https://t.co/799LVQ60P2
The Republican Party wants to strip women of their fundamental freedoms. Not just abortion. Now they want to criminalize travel. It’s absurd and cruel. https://t.co/ddeAqTO26C
Alabama’s abortion ban has no exceptions for rape or incest. Now, Republicans are trying to criminalize young women’s travel to receive abortion care. We cannot let them get away with this. https://t.co/gHbYJYlEXk
Because of radical Republican judges & politicians in neighboring states, clinics in NM are working overtime to provide reproductive care to patients in need. We must pass the ACCESS Act & deliver the resources NM health care providers need to prevent delays & address backlogs.
One year ago, the Supreme Court stopped an extreme Texas state ruling that would prevent access to mifepristone. Today, mifepristone access is still under attack. As a @DemWomenCaucus member, I’m fighting back against these non-stop efforts to ban abortion nationwide.
Make no mistake, extreme House Republicans have a goal to enact an abortion ban. And they won't stop there, IVF and contraception are next on their list. You can count on me to do everything I can to protect women's access to reproductive care. https://t.co/EKlDbTIiJJ
