The United States must work to increase access to reproductive health care for the vulnerable populations. particularly safe abortion services. and most especially for the Yezidi girls and women who were purposefully impregnated as a tool of terrorism by ISIL. I have called on the administration multiple times to confront this horror. In September. I wrote a letter with five of my Democratic colleagues to Secretary Kerry. calling on the State Department to declare Iraqi religious minorities. including the Yezidis. as protected priority groups so they could seek refugee assistance within Iraqs border. In October. I wrote a letter with 27 of my Democratic colleagues. calling on the President to take action to properly implement existing law.
