Melanie Stansbury (N.M.-01) voted to pass the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act\u2013a bill she cosponsors\u2014to safeguard the right of pregnant people across the nation to access legal, safe abortion care following the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, undermining decades of legal precedent.\n\nSince the Supreme Court\u2019s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, abortion clinics based in Texas and Mississippi\u2013where trigger laws banning abortion have or will soon take effect\u2013have announced they are relocating to New Mexico. The Ensuring Access to Abortion Act prohibits any person acting under state law, including private parties, from preventing travel or punishing Americans traveling for reproductive health care, which is protected by the Commerce Clause of the U.S. Constitution.\n\n\u201cIn the wake of the Supreme Court\u2019s devastating decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which undermines decades of legal precedent, I voted today to protect the ability of individuals to access safe and legal care,\u201dsaid Rep. Stansbury.\u201cThis bill helps to protect access to reproductive care by protecting the ability of individuals to travel across state lines to receive safe and accessible care in places like New Mexico, where care is still available. We know this measure is not enough, which is why we are also fighting for the Senate to pass the Women\u2019s Health Protection Act, which we passed in the House in September to codify access to reproductive health careinto law.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:49:02Z"]], "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://stansbury.house.gov/media/press-releases/clinics-relocate-nm-rep-stansbury-votes-protect-right-travel-abortion-services"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.9442577138543129, "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"}
