A few weeks ago, the far right, a 6-3 majority on the Supreme Court, quietly overturned Roe v. Wade. Today, we pass the Women's Health Protection Act to restore reproductive freedom nationwide and protect fundamental rights that the Supreme Court will not.

Not just 90 percent of Democrats, but 61 percent of Independents. Until we end the domination of the far-right majority, reproductive freedom will never be secure.
