This National Women’s Health Week we are reminded of the profound impact of reproductive freedom. From access to comprehensive healthcare to the ability to make private decisions about one’s own body, reproductive rights are fundamental to women's health and autonomy.
But, these rights are under constant threat.
Attacks by Donald Trump and his extremist allies have dramatically limited access to reproductive care, endangering the lives and wellbeing of women across the nation – and they’re not done yet. This week, I joined with my fellow Democratic women in the Senate to oppose new legislation introduced by Senate Republicans that would create a government-run registry of pregnant women.
