Wade, Representative Sharice Davids joined her colleagues to introduce two important bills aimed at restoring and protecting reproductive freedom nationwide. After Dobbs, Kansas became the first state to hold a vote on abortion access, overwhelmingly choosing to protect reproductive rights.\n\n\u201cThree years ago, the Supreme Court stripped away a constitutional right, and since then, we\u2019ve seen the chaos and cruelty that decision unleashed,\u201d said Davids. \u201cNow, the president and extreme Republican politicians are doubling down with attacks on reproductive freedom, trying to control people\u2019s personal medical decisions. I\u2019m proud to help introduce these bills that fight back and put power back where it belongs \u2014 with patients and doctors, not politicians.\u201d\n\nSince the Dobbs decision, extreme Republicans have made it clear that their attacks on reproductive health care will continue. Just this month, President Trump revoked federal guidance requiring hospitals to provide emergency abortions when needed to save women\u2019s lives. U.S. Speaker Mike Johnson supports a national abortion ban and banning IVF. And in Kansas, GOP politicians have introduced bills that could criminalize doctors, restrict birth control access, and attack the right to travel for care. These dangerous efforts demand a strong federal response.\n\nThe Women\u2019s Health Protection Act would restore the nationwide right to access abortion care by creating a federal guarantee for providers to deliver, and patients to receive, reproductive health services \u2014 free from medically unnecessary state-level bans and restrictions. In the wake of the Dobbs decision, nearly half of women of reproductive age now live under abortion bans, with some forced to travel hundreds of miles for care.\n\nThe Ensuring Women\u2019s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act would ensure no one can be punished or restricted from traveling to access lawful reproductive care. It also would protect those who assist patients and hold accountable any person who tries to block this constitutional right.\n\nThese efforts are part of Davids\u2019 ongoing work to protect reproductive health care access and push back against dangerous efforts to criminalize patients and providers.
