50 years ago today, the Hyde Amendment was included in our federal spending bill for the first time. Every day since, for half a century, abortion care has been baselessly set apart from all other health care. #EndHydeNOW Read our full statement from RFC Co-Chairs 👇.

Health care decisions should be made between patients and providers, NOT judges and politicians. #Mifepristone has been FDA-approved for 26 years. RFC will keep fighting for access to this safe, effective health care.

Birth control is essential healthcare. It’s medicine, it’s public health, it’s economic freedom. On #WorldContraceptionDay and every day, RFC and our Members will always fight to make sure every patient can access it.

When you defund and dismantle Title X, public health pays the price. Recent policy attacks & funding freezes aren’t just political theater—they translate directly to fewer people accessing vital contraception & critical STI testing. Healthcare is a human right. Stop playing politics with our bodies.

I was honored to receive the Lifetime Reproductive Freedom Champion Award from @reproductivefreedomforall.org. Anti-choice extremists would love it if we stopped fighting—if we just let them ban abortion and strip away health care from millions. But we will never give them that satisfaction.

EPA: Hey, polluter besties! Open season on our air and water! Also EPA: OMG guys do you think there's abortion in the water?? We must cleanse it! Let's cut the BS. This is just another blatant attempt to excuse chipping away at abortion access until it is banned entirely.

Abortion care is health care, and there is a clear explanation for the doubling of ectopic pregnancy deaths in our country. Abortion bans are not just a partisan policy dispute: they are a death sentence. Read our full statement from RFC Co-Chairs @degette.house.gov and @pressley.house.gov👇.

Ectopic pregnancies are life threatening and the standard of care is abortion care. This rise in ectopic pregnancy related deaths is devastating. As Co-Chair of @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I'll keep fighting for your health and dignity. No one should be denied the essential medical care they need.

I toured the Atlanta Birth Center, fighting maternal & infant mortality in the #FightingFifth. Their mama- and baby-centered care is vital. As they pause services in October to find a more affordable location, we must invest in operations like this and protect vital community resources.

Fertility care is healthcare. Period. No one should be shamed for talking about it or denied the chance to build a family because they can’t afford the care they need. Breaking the stigma matters. RFC Members are fighting for access for everyone.

Four years ago today, women across the country woke up with fewer freedoms than we had the day before – and now 20 states have banned all or some abortion care.
4 years since Dobbs v. Jackson 

Quote from dissent: 
“For half a century, Roe v. Wade, and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, have protected the liberty and equality of women.

Today, the Court discards that ... It says that from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of. A State can force her to bring a pregnancy to term, even at the steepest personal and familial costs.”

- Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Stephen Breyer
