Issues: Judicial Branch

Today, Rep. Ruben J. Kihuen issued the statement below following the 5-4 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the National Institute of Family and Life Advocates (NIFLA) v. Becerra case:

"It is disappointing that today's Supreme Court decision will allow unlicensed facilities to continue misleading women about the health care services they provide. No woman seeking accurate information about her health care options should be lied to, shamed, or denied access to basic medical care. This ruling is a huge setback in our nation's fight to protect and advance women's rights and will make it harder for women to access the health care services they need. We must continue fighting to ensure that every woman has the right to make her own health choices and has access to the full range of options."
