Defending reproductive freedom

Earlier this week, a court sided with the Trump Administration to rip funding away from Planned Parenthood.

Here's what that means in real terms: it will be harder for women to get the care they need — from annual check-ups to cancer screenings to reproductive health services. For many communities, Planned Parenthood is the only provider they can turn to. This decision threatens to put basic health care out of reach.

Planned Parenthood isn't just about reproductive care. It's about the mom who needs prenatal check-ups, the young person who needs accurate health information, and the cancer survivor who needs regular screenings to stay healthy. Cutting off this funding is cruel.

HELL NO. I'm fighting back.

Every American deserves access to affordable, high-quality health care, no matter where they live or how much money they have. And reproductive health care is health care.

I'll keep pushing in the Senate to expand access to care and defend reproductive freedom against every attack.

Onward,

Jeff
