Reproductive Rights for Women and Families

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe v. Wade. Where do we go from here?

The Dobbs decision has put the health of women and families in jeopardy. In the wake of Roe being overturned, our current representative voted against codifying Roe v. Wade. As I wrote in an op-ed with the Courier Times, access to abortion is not only an issue for single women, but also families looking to determine their own futures. In fact, many Americans who have an abortion are already parents when they choose to do so. This can have broad economic impacts for women and their families, and access to abortion is essential to protecting the rights of women to freely participate in society.

While Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick has continuously opposed access to a woman’s right to choose, I will not. I support H.R. 3755, the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would federally codify Roe v. Wade, and I look forward to casting my vote in its favor in Congress.
