Today, I was joined by Senators Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, and Kyrsten Sinema in introducing bipartisan legislation to codify Roe v. Wade’s protections into law.

The legislation, called the Reproductive Freedom for All Act, would enact the essential holdings of Roe v. Wade and protect a woman’s right to abortion and contraception, undoing the damage of the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe .

Here’s why: After the Supreme Court gutted a woman’s right to make her own health care choices, it is incumbent upon Congress to take action to restore that right.

This effort will do just that, and I’m proud to join with my Republican and Democratic colleagues to introduce this federal legislation.

If you agree, please join me in calling on my colleagues in the Senate to vote to pass the Reproductive Freedom for All Act by adding your name to our petition today. [[link removed]]

I believe the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health goes directly against not only the Constitution and legal precedent, but also the will of the majority of Americans.

Because it does.

According to a recent Pew Research poll, more than 60% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

Overturning Roe has resulted in immediate bans on all abortions in several states. It has also jeopardized many other essential rights, including the right to access birth control, which was outlined in Griswold v. Connecticut and other cases.

Here’s what else our bill would do:

*
Prohibit
state
bans
that
impose
an
undue
burden
on
a
woman’s
access
to
pre-viability
abortions
while
allowing
states
to
enact
reasonable
restrictions
on
post-viability
abortions
–
provided
that
states
cannot
ban
abortions
that
are
necessary
to
protect
the
life
or
health
of
the
mother.

*
Protect
access
to
contraceptives.

*
Allow
individuals
adversely
affected
by
a
state
abortion
restriction
to
challenge
it
in
court.

*
Require
states
to
pay
the
challenger’s
attorney
fees
if
the
challenge
against
the
state
is
successful.

These are fair, commonsense protections that all women deserve. And I’m proud to introduce this legislation. But I need you with me. So please, add your name today and send a message that reproductive rights must be protected. [[link removed]]
