The one year anniversary of the Dobbs decision is next week. That means it's been one year since the conservative justices on the Supreme Court decided that abortion rights would no longer be protected across the country.
In the wake of that decision, various state legislatures rushed to pass restrictive abortion bans. Here in Arizona, abortions after 15 weeks were outlawed.
These bans aren't based on science. Instead, Republicans are inserting the government into intimate decisions between women and their doctors.
Our reproductive freedom shouldn't be up for debate, or subject to the whims of politicians.
We must pass legislation to protect abortion rights nationwide. I will fight for this nonstop in Congress — but every piece of grassroots support before then makes a difference.

She’s ready to take that fight to Washington to find common-sense solutions to the challenges we’re facing here in Arizona's Sixth Congressional District.
