There is a lot to fight against right now, but I'm grateful to have something to fight FOR with today's re-intro of the #FAMILYAct. The national FAMILY Act would help would-be parents get the time off they need without compromising their livelihood. #PaidLeave #ForFamily

A federal appeals court just ruled that YES, states CAN restrict the abortion pill mifepristone—despite it being FDA-approved and used in over half of U.S. abortions. This is the first time a federal appeals court has said states can override FDA authority to block abortion pills.
