Over the past 40 years, the Supreme Court has affirmed a woman's
constitutional right to privacy, including the right to choose. Not only is the 20-week ban imposed by this Congress not based on
accepted science, but this ban disregards the role doctors play in
making health decisions. In States that have already passed this ban, young people, women of
color, low-income women, and immigrant women are the ones who are most
impacted by the ban. If we care about women's health, we should work to reduce unintended
pregnancies, expand access to contraception, and support maternal and
children's health. Instead, the majority is slashing Medicaid,
attacking Planned Parenthood, and passing bans.
