REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM

Politicians have no place in our bedrooms or our doctors’ offices. Republicans are coming after our most fundamental freedoms, and they won’t stop at abortion. Democrats will continue fighting against their extreme agenda and for our right to make our own health care decisions.

Katherine Clark has led in the House to:

 Pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to ensure federal abortion access.
Pass the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act that would protect an individual’s right to travel across state lines to seek abortion care.
Pass the Right to Contraception Act to protect an individual’s right to access birth control.
