The Supreme Court ruling in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt just strengthened abortion rights in a big way. Now, it's up to Congress to make this win even bigger.
By rejecting Texas's clinic shutdown law, the Justices gave us a powerful tool that we can use in the fight against similar laws across the country.
But Congress has to do their part as well by passing laws that put our health and rights first—policies that protect abortion access and value personal decision-making.
The Women's Health Protection Act is one of these policies. It would go a long way toward expanding access to safe and legal abortion.
Already, 180 Members of Congress have declared their support. Let's keep the momentum going.
Call on Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act.
In June, an historic ruling from the US Supreme Court reaffirmed a woman's constitutional right to access safe, legal abortion.
Now, it's time for Congress to do its part.
Fights to improve access to abortion care will continue. We need the Women's Health Protection Act to prohibit states from imposing a range of restrictions on reproductive care that shame women for their decisions and limit access to safe, legal abortion care.
I stand with the Act for Women campaign and call on Congress to pass the Women's Health Protection Act.
