Across the nation, families are gathering in joy and safety, thanks to those who fought for our freedom. What did veterans get as a holiday gift from the President? A targeted, dangerous abortion ban, issued quietly overnight. It's unconscionable. This entire administration should be ashamed.

ICYMI, the House GOP has been working overtime — not to extend the expiring tax credits that help millions of people afford their premiums — but to sneak a nationwide abortion coverage ban into the health care marketplace. It's back on the House floor today. Let's talk about it. 🧵

If Republicans don't extend ACA subsidies, people are going to die. Now, they’re trying to tie Americans' health care to abortion restrictions that kill women. It’s absolutely a non-starter. We won’t allow Republicans to use the lives of women as the political cost of extension.

Nothing could be truer to our American values than giving those who fight for our freedom the freedom to build their families on their terms. This is on POTUS and Speaker Johnson.

When basic health care is criminalized, people do not suddenly stop needing it. It just becomes more dangerous for them to access. Republicans' extreme abortion bans across the country have not stopped people needing care, just forced women to find another way.

Our service members deserve access to IVF to plan their families and future. We thank RFC Member @sarajacobs.house.gov for fighting for the very same people who fight for us. Read our full statement from RFC Co-Chairs👇.

RFC stands with @HouseDemocrats in calling for action on the expiring tax credits. We say HELL NO to any GOP attempts at hijacking negotiations with an insurance marketplace abortion coverage ban.

Tierra Walker should still be here today. Another mother has been taken from her child and loved ones due to Texas's dangerous abortion bans. GOP restrictions have no place in hospital rooms; only health care providers do. Our fight for these mothers is far from over.

Attacks on birth control have no place in America. My health, my life; my family, my future; my body, MY choice. That's what reproductive freedom looks like, and that's what RFC will continue to fight for. #ThxBirthControl

ICYMI: Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin is set to resume essential health care services after months of confusion caused by the GOP's agenda. Wisconsinites deserve access to affordable & safe reproductive care without harmful interference. We will continue to fight for WI. tinyurl.com/3tshsb57

Even Donald Trump's own @fda.gov knows mifepristone is safe and effective. 🤗 Facts are not partisan, data are data, and even this FDA has no choice but to confirm it: mifepristone should be MORE accessible, not less. x.com/PhilipWegman...

Republicans can choose to fix the health care crisis they created. Instead, they're doubling down on dysfunction, shoving us into a shutdown—all while doing nothing to restore or protect the health care access that hangs in the balance.

For the past 49 years, the #HydeAmendment has left 8 million women on Medicaid without abortion coverage & stripped their freedom to access abortion care nationwide. Now is the time to end Hyde & put women's reproductive health care over politics.

25 years of safe, effective use. #Mifepristone is essential health care and no one should have to fight for access to it. Medical decisions belong in the hands of patients, not politicians.

In every community across the world, birth control access is essential. It’s health care. It’s freedom. It’s a RIGHT — and we’re not backing down from the fight to protect it. #WorldContraceptionDay

Yesterday’s ruling doesn’t just restrict care — it eliminates it. In many areas, Planned Parenthood is the only provider. Cutting Medicaid funding means shutting the door on screenings, birth control & more for millions. RFC will keep fighting for patients' rights & freedoms.

Yesterday, NWLC President & CEO @FatimaGossGraves.bsky.social joined @demwomencaucus.bsky.social & @reprocaucus.bsky.social for a press conference on the VA’s proposed regulation to reinstate a near-total abortion ban & bar VA providers from offering comprehensive pregnancy counseling for veterans.

The same Trump officials who say they are “leaving abortion up to the states” are exploiting the power of the federal government to roll back rights for American veterans. I’m proud to join @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, @reprocaucus.bsky.social, @democrats-veterans.house.gov, and

Our veterans have sacrificed everything for our country. We owe it to them to provide the services they need, including abortion care. I’m joining my @reprocaucus.bsky.social & @demwomencaucus.bsky.social colleagues in demanding Trump roll back his cruel attacks on healthcare for veterans.

STARTING SOON: We’re joining HVAC talk about the Trump VA’s ban on abortion care for veterans. Join us live! 🎙️

Happy Women’s Equality Day! As co-chair of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I am committed to advocating for and prioritizing policies that protect, secure, and expand women’s rights and freedoms, including access to reproductive health care.

Trump's Big, Ugly Bill will rob families across the country of essential abortion care. As @reprocaucus.bsky.social Co-Chair, I joined @reppaultonko.bsky.social at the Upper Hudson Planned Parenthood to thank our medical providers & affirm our commitment to fighting for our bodily autonomy.

Donald Trump and Republicans claim to support veterans, but even veterans are not spared under their extreme anti-abortion agenda. Those who fight for our country abroad have earned the right for their needs to be met at home. Playing politics with their health care is immoral.

Trump & Republicans' want to make it more difficult for our most vulnerable to access STI testing, breast exams, birth control, & more. But we won't let them. This ruling to protect Planned Parenthood centers from being defunded is encouraging, but our fight is not over. apnews.com/article/plan...

Planned Parenthood provides critical healthcare for women on everything from mental health, testing, planning, and more. This is a win for patients and a well-deserved blow to an administration hellbent on attacking healthcare. apnews.com/article/plan...

A federal judge just blocked Republicans' push to defund Planned Parenthood—a backdoor abortion ban they hid in Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. It’s a big win but we can’t let up if we want to ensure millions of people can access birth control, annual exams, cancer screenings & more.

🚨 Victory for Reproductive Rights🚨 A federal judge just temporarily blocked Trump’s cruel attempt to strip Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood. I fought this in committee with my own amendment that every Republican voted down.

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked the GOP's attempt to defund Planned Parenthood. This is a big win. But we need to keep up the pressure. Republicans want nothing more than to secure a nationwide abortion ban and rip health care away from women. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u...

Trump & Republicans snuck a backdoor abortion ban into their Big Ugly Bill. But defunding Planned Parenthood won't just restrict abortion access—it will also strip women of compassionate, affordable health care. I'm proud to stand with Planned Parenthood LA to protect our care.

No matter who you are, where you live, or who you love, you should be able to get the health care you need, when you need it, in your home community. And that’s exactly what Planned Parenthood health centers do every day.

BREAKING: A federal judge has blocked Trump and Republicans’ attempts to defund Planned Parenthood through their Big Bad Betrayal. This is a big win. We’ll keep fighting to ensure millions of Americans have access to the health care they need and deserve. apnews.com/article/plan...

Hands off Medicaid. Hands off reproductive health care. The recent court decision to temporarily block Republicans' attempt to defund Planned Parenthood is a welcome win. We must never stop fighting to protect reproductive freedom.

Devastating news that five Planned Parenthood locations in Northern California will close as a result of Republicans' cruel cruel budget bill. Planned Parenthood provides basic health exams, cancer screenings, & vaccinations. Hands Off Planned Parenthood. www.sfchronicle.com/politics/art...

Today’s ruling is a step forward. For now, a federal judge blocked the GOP’s effort to strip Medicaid funding from Planned Parenthood. The fight isn’t over— but access to essential reproductive care wins today. apnews.com/article/plan...

Everyone should have the ability to start their family if, when, & how they choose. As a member of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I will always fight to #ProtectIVF & safeguard access to fertility care for families in Queens & across the nation.

Grateful for the partnership of @degette.house.gov, @schakowsky.house.gov, @frost.house.gov, @duckworth.senate.gov, @murray.senate.gov, @hirono.senate.gov, Rep. Barbara Lee and over 150 of our colleagues.

Today, we reintroduced the EACH Act to #EndHyde once and for all. Abortion care is fundamental healthcare. No man, no king, no coward should come between us and our bodies.

We welcome partial relief for some constituents.....Too many from already underserved communities will continue to suffer while we wait for a permanent resolution. Read our full statement from Co-Chairs @RepDianaDeGette & @RepPressley👇.

Today, our Co-Chairs - alongside RFC members @JanSchakowsky & @MaxwellFrostFL, w/Senate leaders @SenDuckworth, @PattyMurray, & @MazieHirono - reintroduced the #EACHAct. We stand with 170+ @HouseDemocrats & 30+ Senators to #EndHydeNow, ensuring everyone can choose their own health & future.

Since Dobbs, abortion bans have cost folks' their lives, worsened the Black maternal health crisis & pushed essential care out of reach. Now Republicans are gutting Medicaid, defunding Planned Parenthood & moving us closer to a nationwide abortion ban. The cruelty is the point.

Finally, I joined leaders and advocates at Planned Parenthood of the Rocky Mountains. The Big Bogus Bill would deny essential care—including birth control, cancer screenings, and more—to 1 million Planned Parenthood patients who rely on Medicaid nationwide.

It's almost like the House GOP is so committed to stripping servicemembers' reproductive freedom that they attempt the same draconian policy every year... On the House Floor today, our Members are fighting back as Republicans push another anti-abortion Defense spending bill. x.com/ReproCaucus/...

Reproductive freedom means everyone having access to contraception. Today, we celebrate the first-ever OTC birth control available nationwide and renew our commitment to #FreeThePill for all. Happy Birthday, #Opill!

As Co-Chair of the @reprocaucus.bsky.social, I know what’s at stake. In many communities, Planned Parenthood is the only expert, affordable provider of sexual and reproductive health care. This isn’t about partisanship. Every person deserves access to the care they need.

Defunding Planned Parenthood defunds life-saving care like cancer screenings and abortion. Republicans had one of the worst ideas. A federal judge just blocked it.

Some good news for the millions of patients who rely on Planned Parenthood for basic care. But make no mistake: our fight is far from over. The GOP will stop at nothing to rip care away from women.

Today. Tomorrow. Every. Single. Day.

Even with dark times ahead, we will never let up in our reproductive freedom mission. The American people deserve better, and we will press on, undaunted, to build the future you deserve. Read our full statement from RFC Co-Chairs👇.

"Let me make something clear: House Democrats believe in a woman's freedom to make her own reproductive health care decisions. A decision that should be between a woman, her family, her faith, and her doctors. That's it. Period. Full stop."

My next amendment would prohibit funding for surveillance, investigations, and prosecutions of women’s reproductive health decisions. These decisions are between patient and doctor. Period.
