Wade decision:\n\n\u201cAn essential part of freedom is control over your own body, and women's reproductive rights are inseparable from that,\u201d Golden said. \u201cRoe v. Wade\u2019s affirmation of those freedoms in our Constitution was not only the correct legal decision but one that upheld the moral dignity of personal autonomy. The American people \u2014 and Congress itself \u2014 cannot stop until that basic human right is restored.\u201d\n\nGolden has been a strong advocate for women\u2019s reproductive freedom throughout his time in public office. Today he announced he will vote against H.R. 21 later this week \u2014 vague legislation designed to intimidate doctors in places where abortion is still legal.\n\nGolden will also be an original cosponsor of both the Right to Contraception Act and Women\u2019s Health Protection Act upon their introduction this Congress \u2014 the latter of which would enshrine abortion rights for patients and providers and create federal protection against medically unnecessary restrictions on abortion. In 2022 he cosponsored the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act, which would prohibit restrictions on traveling out-of-state to receive an abortion or ordering drugs approved for terminating a pregnancy through the mail.\n\nIn the wake of the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, Golden called the decision a \u201cgrave mistake\u201d and added that Congress should codify the Roe and Casey v. Planned Parenthood frameworks into federal statute.\n\n###", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T23:38:47Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://golden.house.gov/media/press-releases/golden-statement-on-the-52nd-anniversary-of-roe-v-wade"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9526568464934826, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
