In states across the country, Republican legislators are using the COVID-19 pandemic as a pretext to attack the constitutional right to an abortion and limit access to reproductive health care.
In states like Texas, Iowa, and Ohio legislators are using emergency efforts to care for COVID-19 patients as an excuse to completely ban abortions by categorizing abortions as “non-essential” procedures. And, in places like Idaho and Kentucky, legislators are trying to introduce and pass draconian legislation to further restrict abortion access while the public is focused on COVID-19.
We can’t allow this crisis to be used to eliminate critical access to reproductive health care — we need your help to fight back against these cruel, life-threatening attacks.
Reproductive health care is a human right and the right to an abortion is not up for debate.
With these attacks, Republican legislators are trying to systematically dismantle access to comprehensive, culturally-competent reproductive care — which disproportionately impacts people of color and low-income communities.
Ayanna is going to do everything within her power to guarantee access to reproductive care for every American, and to shine a light on the injustices and draconian attacks taking place in state legislatures. We will not allow the COVID-19 pandemic to be used as a shield to attack human rights.
