11/08/2022 Tweet - "Republicans want to pass a national abortion ban with virtually no exceptions and deny emergency medical treatment for women experiencing serious pregnancy complications. They want complete control over women's bodies. Not on our watch."
09/13/2022 Tweet - ". @HouseDemocrats have been ringing the alarm on Republicans' plan to enact a national abortion ban. Today, they introduced one in the Senate. We must restore the right to choose and prioritize womens' health and safety above all else."
07/15/2022 Tweet - "205 House Republicans just voted to allow states to prosecute women for having an abortion in a state where it is legal. They want a national ban. We must stop them and restore the right of all women to make their own health care decisions."
07/08/2022 Tweet - "Today, the Biden-Harris Admin took significant action to safeguard access to reproductive health care and protect patients and providers. This Executive Order must be matched with action in Congress. @HouseDemocrats will continue fighting to protect women's right to choose."

05/11/2022 Tweet - "Today the Senate will vote on the Women's Health Protection Act -- pivotal legislation to codify Roe v. Wade into law and protect women's bodily autonomy. Reproductive rights are a part of ensuring everyone has access to health care. I urge the Senate to secure this basic right."
01/22/2022 Tweet - "States across the country are unleashing a full scale assault on women's right to choose. As we mark the 49th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, we must continue to safeguard women's fundamental autonomy over their bodies."
09/07/2021 Tweet - "We should have codified Roe v. Wade into law years ago. @RepJudyChu ought to be commended for her steadfast commitment to this issue and I hope we pass the Women's Health Protection Act in the upcoming weeks."
09/05/2021 Tweet - "The Supreme Court in Roe v. Wade and earlier cases made it very clear that privacy rights are embedded in the Constitution. Just like voting rights and other constitutional rights, a woman's right to choose ought not be subjected to the filibuster."
09/02/2021 Tweet - "The Supreme Court's failure to block the Texas law, #SB8, is an egregious assault on women's reproductive rights, abandoning 50 years of legal precedent with no public deliberation. Congress must uphold Roe v. Wade by passing @RepJudyChu 's Women's Health Protection Act."
05/16/2019 Tweet - "The legislation passed in Alabama this week is a blatant attack on women's rights and part of a clear agenda to dismantle Roe v. Wade. Women are the only ones who have the right to decide what they do with their bodies."
