Instead of celebrating the 51st anniversary of Roe v. Wade today, we’re back in the battle we thought was settled. In the year and a half since the Supreme Court revoked the constitutional right to an abortion, we’ve all witnessed the horrific impact across the country. People have to travel across state lines, face longer waiting periods, and even risk death because of delayed care. And many don’t consider the Dobbs decision the end. Draconian state abortion bans and cases challenging access to the abortion pill could even affect states with strong protections like Oregon. It is becoming increasingly clear that anti-abortion zealots won’t be satisfied until abortion is criminalized nationwide.  This month the Supreme Court agreed to hear a case challenging whether doctors can perform abortions for women in an emergency—like an inviable pregnancy. These are situations where doctors are calling their lawyers while patients could be dying on the operating table. It’s beyond unconscionable. And yet, that’s what so many extremist state legislatures are working to impose on the very people they claim to want to protect. Just last week House Republicans passed a bill to divert federal funding from legitimate social safety net programs to fund so-called crisis pregnancy centers. These centers are a sham. They peddle misinformation about abortion and other reproductive health services. These fake clinics shouldn’t be eligible for federal funding meant to help people in need.  I fought for Congress to reject the legislation—and I will continue resisting any attempts to criminalize abortion further. Our fifty-year battle for reproductive freedom entered a new chapter when the Supreme Court struck down Roe. But we cannot let up. It is clear that we must be as relentless and calculating as our opponents have been. I will not give up on fighting to protect access to reproductive care and neither should you.
