The vast majority of people in New Hampshire and across the country support the right to choose and access to safe, legal abortion. But this ruling opened the door for states and Congress to enact extremist laws blocking women’s access to a range of reproductive health care, from abortion to birth control. I firmly believe that no judge or politician should dictate a person's private health care decisions. I’ll continue fighting to pass legislation that will restore access to reproductive care and the right to privacy, and I will not give up until we safeguard the personal freedoms of all Americans.” On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, which overturned the 50-year-old federal right to an abortion established under Roe v. Wade and upset decades of settled law. Two years later, 23 million women live in states where abortion is now banned or more restricted than before the ruling was issued. Background: Pappas is fighting to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would enshrine into law vital protections previously guaranteed by Roe v. Wade and restore the right to reproductive care for everyone across America, and signed a discharge petition to bring the legislation to the House floor for a vote in the 118th Congress. Pappas is also fighting to pass the Right to Contraception Act, which would codify and strengthen the right for individuals to get and use contraception, the My Body My Data Act, which protects personal reproductive health data, and the Protecting Reproductive Freedom Act, which reaffirms the FDA’s authority to approve medication abortion and safeguards health care provider’s ability to prescribe medication abortion via telehealth. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:11:47Z |
