“This bill is nothing but another shameful attack on women’s rights and public health. By restricting women’s access to safe and legal abortion, Republicans are depriving millions of women across the country of their fundamental right to make the health care decisions that are best for them and their families. Instead of systematically working to dismantle women’s health care and economic security, our representatives should be working to pass legislation that protects access to public health services and expands opportunities for women.
