Dear John,

To help amplify the work of these amazing women, we are highlighting one each week in our #WomanCrushWednesday feature. This week, our #WomanCrush is Representative Deb Butler!

FEATURED BILL: REMOVE BARRIERS/GAIN ACCESS TO ABORTION ACT

Abortion access is severely limited in North Carolina, with access only available in nine [[link removed]] of 100 counties. People of color, young people, people with disabilities, low-income individuals, those who live in rural areas, and the undocumented are most likely to face barriers [[link removed]] to access.

That's why Rep. Butler, along with her colleagues Reps. von Haefen, Fisher, and Alston, and Sens. Marcus, Murdock, and Chaudhuri introduced the Remove Barriers/Gain Access to Abortion Act [[link removed]] in March.

The RBG Act [[link removed]], named in honor of the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, would address four anti-abortion policies currently in place in the state. It would repeal the forced counseling requirement and 72-hour waiting period before an abortion, expand who can perform abortions, repeal the ban on abortions provided via telemedicine, and remove the insurance coverage ban on abortions from state health plans.

Abortion care is health care, and with access in jeopardy at the national level, it is more important than ever to protect our rights at the state level.

In solidarity,

Pia Nargundkar
Communications Director
