And just last week, Senate Republicans blocked nationwide protections for birth control. The disregard for a woman’s right to make these decisions for herself and her family is outrageous and unacceptable. Republican officials have had every opportunity to protect reproductive freedom since the Supreme Court’s extreme decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, but they refuse to do so. Instead, Republicans’ dangerous, out-of-touch agenda is devastating women’s health and lives. Vice President Harris and I believe that every woman should have the right to access the care they need, including fertility treatment, without interference from politicians. This is a basic issue of reproductive freedom, and we will continue fighting, alongside Democrats in Congress, until we restore the protections of Roe v. Wade in federal law for all women in every state.### Next Post: Readout of Vice President Harris’s Call with President-elect Sheinbaum of Mexico Readout of Vice President Harris’s Call with President-elect Sheinbaum of Mexico June 13, 2024 •Statements and Releases Next Post Stay ConnectedSign UpEmail Address* RequiredZIP CodePlease leave blank.We'll be in touch with the latest information on how President Biden and his administration are working for the American people, as well as ways you can get involved and help our country build back better.
