Dear Friend,
The fall of Roe v. Wade left millions of Americans without access to vital reproductive and abortion health care and opened the door for broader attacks on reproductive freedom. These assaults disproportionately harm communities that already face barriers in accessing care, including people of color, immigrants, LGBTQ+ Americans, and young people.
This week was a split-screen moment in Congress on this issue. I signed a measure to force a vote on the Right to Contraception Act, which would ensure access to the full range of contraceptives for all Americans. Meanwhile, Republicans in the House voted overwhelmingly to restrict access to birth control for veterans and Republican Senators blocked consideration of a bill that would have created a federal right to contraception.
I will continue leading the charge to protect access to birth control and other important reproductive health care services and push back on these extreme efforts to restrict it. Your health care decisions should be made between you and your doctor, not by politicians.
If you need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact my Kirkland office at (425) 485-0085 or delbene.house.gov. For more updates on what I’m doing for WA-01, you can follow me on social media at the links above.
Take care,
Suzan
