We won some major pro-choice victories this week when voters in Wisconsin elected Judge Janet Protasiewicz to the state supreme court and when Gov. Gretchen Whitmer overturned Michigan’s century-old abortion ban.
Unfortunately, we also got some bad news: The governor of neighboring Idaho signed legislation banning minors from traveling out of state for abortions and making it a felony to assist those minors in obtaining abortion care.
We knew these types of bans were coming as soon as the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade , but we need to fight back. Sign on to call on Congress to protect patients who must travel to access reproductive care: [[link removed]]
Immediately following the Dobbs decision, pro-choice states like Washington experienced an influx of out-of-state patients. That’s why I quickly demanded clarity from the Department of Justice on potential federal actions to protect patients and providers – regardless of where a patient comes from.
Idahoans are our neighbors, and as one of their nearest blue-state options to escape anti-choice extremism in their state, we must stand with them and protect their fundamental right to reproductive health care.
Sign on to call for federal action to protect patients, no matter who they are or where they come from. [[link removed]]
