In the U.S., Black women are three times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications.
That is unacceptable.
RFC will continue fighting for #BlackMaternalHealth and protect families' access to lifesaving care nationwide.
ICYMI: Last night, Senate GOP blocked a critical vote that would have restored veterans’ reproductive health care access.
Let’s be clear: this wasn’t procedure—it was a choice. A choice to deny veterans and their families protection.
It’s wrong. It’s harmful. And veterans will feel the impact.
Soon, the Senate is voting on a resolution to overturn the Trump admin's near-total ban on abortion care and counseling for veterans who receive their healthcare from VA. Veterans deserve access to a full range of reproductive healthcare at VA. The Senate must vote in support of veterans.
Tonight, Senators will vote to uphold or overturn Trump's cruel and dangerous ban on abortion care and counseling for veterans who receive their healthcare through VA. They must vote to restore veterans' rights.
📺 LIVE: Watch now as our Senate colleagues speak out against Donald Trump’s VA abortion ban and in favor of the resolution soon to take the floor:

RFC stands w/ SVACDems, @democrats-veterans.house.gov & @juliabrownley.house.gov in opposition to Trump's VA abortion ban and in defense of veterans' & their families' access to reproductive health care. Senate GOP: time to decide who should come first, veterans & their families or Donald Trump.
(1/2) Tonight's Senate vote asks a simple question: do the very people who fought for our freedoms deserve their own fundamental rights and compassionate, comprehensive health services back home? We can't vote, but we're a yes.
Georgia's abortion ban has crossed another line: Americans deserve care, not criminalization. No person should have to fear imprisonment for their pregnancy outcomes or reproductive health care decisions.
Reproductive freedom is a basic right & RFC will continue to fight for it.
Reps. Ayanna Pressley, Delia Ramirez, and Mark Takano hold a timely discussion on migration & reproductive freedom.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley participates in a Global Migration Caucus roundtable on migration & reproductive freedom.
Advocates provide opening remarks during a Global Migration Caucus roundtable on migration & reproductive freedom.
Rep. Ayanna Pressley listens to an advocate provide opening remarks.
Migration & reproductive freedom are deeply linked.
Reproductive freedom is a fundamental human right but too often man made borders & policies deny people care.
Thank you @ramirez.house.gov & the Global Migration Caucus roundtable for this timely & urgent discussion.
We said it then, we say it now: there's nothing 'beautiful' about defunding Planned Parenthood. Closing clinics, leaving people without cancer screenings or birth control is ugly, harmful, and entirely by GOP design.
We will continue fighting for reproductive health care for all.
As Chair of the Contraception Task Force for @reprocaucus.bsky.social and the Reproductive Health Care Task Force for @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, I joined my colleagues in urging HHS to immediately fund Title X and protect access to critical family planning and sexual health care.
@reprocaucus.bsky.social and @demwomencaucus.bsky.social leaders and I, along with 128 congressional colleagues, are demanding a one-year funding extension to stop delays of the life-saving work of Title X-funded centers in the #FightingFifth and across the country.
BREAKING: Yesterday, RFC & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social Leaders led 128 @housedemocrats.bsky.social in a letter urging HHS to immediately fund Title X grants and protect essential reproductive care.

Women's health care providers are on the front lines experiencing the fallout from Trump and RFK's misinformation campaign about vaccines and health care.
Today, I heard from TGH's students, doctors and educators on how I can continue supporting their work through advocacy and legislation.
Families deserve affordable, accessible health care — not policies that drive up costs & restrict care.
Today, @demwomencaucus.bsky.social
and RFC urged HHS to revise its proposed rule that threatens access to essential health services, including family planning.

Abortion care is a fundamental human right—not a privilege. As we mark the 30th Abortion Provider Appreciation Day, we honor the volunteers, nurses, physicians, and clinic staff who show up every day to provide essential care. Thank you for your courage, compassion, and commitment to patients!
This #IWD, we celebrate the power, resilience, and strength of women everywhere. That also means protecting access to repro health care—because the ability to make informed decisions about our bodies, our health, and our futures is fundamental to equality, dignity, and opportunity for all.
Happy Women's History Month! This month and every day, RFC honors and stands with the women warriors, past and present, working in defense of reproductive freedom and health care access.
A federal judge in Louisiana could end telehealth access to medication abortion nationwide.
This lawsuit is a blatant attempt to ban abortion. Mifepristone has been safely used for 25 years. It's the most common method of abortion care in America. Women will suffer if access is restricted.
Hypocrisy 101: Let's address the state of reproductive health care. Since your first year back in office, reproductive health care has been gutted. Rights stripped. Funding slashed. Families are left to suffer the consequences.
We can't listen to any more of the lies. #SOTU
Thank you, @ncjw.bsky.social, for bringing the magic of Repro Shabbat to the Hill this week! As Shabbat begins, RFC and Co-Chair @degette.house.gov proudly stand with the Jewish community in affirming that reproductive freedom is a Jewish value.
Abortion is a human right, and Sec. Rubio is attempting to label that right internationally as a “human rights violation.” (2/2)
I am leading the demand with @ocasio-cortez.house.gov—along with 75 House Democrats—that Secretary Marco Rubio reverse the Department of State’s threat to reproductive freedoms around the globe. (1/2)
This month we honor Black history by protecting mothers.
The Black maternal health crisis is real.
This month, we remember the Black mothers lost to cruel abortion bans and keep up the fight for a reproductive justice future.
Honored to receive the Barbara Lee Reproductive Justice Champion Award from @blackwomensrj.bsky.social. This work is not about the recognition but the outcome for the mothers & families whose voices are often silenced.
I brought the issue of maternal mortality to Congress & will continue the fight.
The Global Gag Rule forces providers abroad to choose between receiving U.S. funds to reach more people or offering full health services.
This rule’s expansion will further strip women and girls of lifesaving health care.
We’re fighting back against this attack on global health.
“Those who fought for our freedoms abroad deserve to have their freedoms respected & needs met at home.” said @degette.house.gov & @pressley.house.gov, Co-Chairs of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social.

Proud to stand with @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, @hispaniccaucus.bsky.social, @equality.house.gov, @capac.house.gov, and the CBC against the dangerous, unprecedented expansion of the #GlobalGagRule.

Yesterday was the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and we were with the leadership of @ppfa.org to talk about the fight ahead.
We stand shoulder to shoulder with the leaders and advocates who refuse to back down in the fight for reproductive justice. Because, healthcare is a human right. 💕
Today is the 53rd anniversary of Roe v. Wade. How are House Republicans celebrating? By voting on bills to further ERODE reproductive freedom and push their extreme, anti-choice agenda.
It’s time to restore Roe and codify reproductive rights for all.
