“This week was the second anniversary of the ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade in an extreme attack on women's rights in America. In North Carolina, the aftermath of the Dobbs decision has been devastating. In July 2023, North Carolina's Republican majority general assembly enacted a law prohibiting abortion after 12 weeks with few exceptions and mandated in-person, State-directed counseling 3 days before the procedure. Other States have outlawed abortion and similar reproductive health services altogether. In Alabama, a State Supreme Court ruling has effectively stopped access to in vitro fertilization, or IVF. I am pro-choice and a committed member of the House Pro-Choice Caucus. I want my daughter to grow up in a world where she has the same rights that her mother and grandmother had for the last 50 years. I will continue working in Congress to restore and protect the right to choose by codifying Roe v. Wade into Federal law. Diversity is our Strength”
