The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was dehumanizing and dangerous. It does not reflect the will of the majority of Americans who deeply value control over their own bodies. As leader of the State senate in Vermont, I worked to make sure that my State was the first in the Nation to explicitly protect reproductive freedoms in its constitution. It is time to provide these same protections for all Americans. While Republicans seek to control women's bodies to try to distract us from their extreme stances with farcical resolutions, my Democratic colleagues and I will not stop until reproductive freedoms are restored as the law of the land. The American people are overwhelmingly with us. They want their rights. They want their freedoms. As a woman, as a mother, as a Congresswoman, I will continue to fight for a world where abortion care is legal, safe, and accessible for all Americans. ____________________
