I just introduced the Abortion Justice Act
Abortion care is health care and a fundamental human right.
Still, access to care has been stripped away from far too many – worsening many of the inequities and disparities that already harm the most vulnerable people in our communities.
That’s why I just introduced the Abortion Justice Act, which will build the infrastructure necessary to systematically expand access to abortion care and ensure every person is able to exercise their fundamental reproductive rights.
It’s important that this transformational legislation has as much support as possible in Congress. So today, I’m reaching out to ask if you will call your Representative and ask them to support the Abortion Justice Act.
Call your Rep.
The call will only take a minute or two and, by taking this action, you will help codify the right to abortion.
The Abortion Justice Act is a comprehensive bill that:
- Calls for necessary federal investments in abortion care, including training, research, outreach, doula care, and innovation.
- Requires that insurance coverage includes abortion care.
- Protects patients and providers from criminalization.
- Affirms a legal right to abortion and miscarriage care.
- Removes systemic barriers to care, including for immigrant families.
- Addresses disparities and systemic racism in the healthcare system.
Please call your Representative right now and tell them that you support the Abortion Justice Act and they should too.
A safer, healthier, and more just America is possible, and I look forward to the day when our bodily autonomy is our own.
Thank you for taking action today,
Ayanna Pressley
