I hope the women of America are watching. Let there be no doubt about the actions of congressional Republicans and the Trump administration. They will oppose your right to make your own health decision and limit access to your reproductive health care at every available juncture. Rather than work to create jobs, House Republicans are helping State officials block women from getting contraception and other reproductive health services. Today's bill would particularly harm the neediest Americans, as it could deny them the opportunity to visit the health provider of their choice, which in many instances may be the only provider available within hours of their home. Sadly, this will be just one of the many assaults on women's rights in the 115th Congress.
