“Some patients have been forced to give birth, even when it puts their lives at risk or their pregnancies are nonviable. Over the past year, we’ve seen horror stories from across the country of the dangerous and deadly consequences of these draconian abortion bans.”

“Since the Dobbs decision a year ago, we have seen state after state strip abortion rights and people have lost their freedom to decide when, if, and with whom they would start or add to a family.  These are the most personal and consequential decisions a person can make.”

“Restricting abortion care will increase the risk of maternal death, as well as criminalizing doctors for providing what is sometimes life saving for care for the patient. Democrats will protect your right to make these decisions for yourself w/your medical provider.”
