Valadao votes against protecting reproductive freedom
As women across the country endure the unimaginable, brutal consequences of Republican’s war on women, David Valadao and House Republicans are doubling down on their anti-choice agenda in the early days of serving in the majority.
Earlier this week, in one of his very first votes in the 118th Congress, Valadao voted against consideration of the Women’s Health Protection Act which would codify the reproductive freedoms Roe v. Wade guaranteed before the Supreme Court ripped them away.
Signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe while the rest stood by.
Signed on to a national abortion ban that doesn’t offer exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the woman, and more than 100 Republicans have signed on to another.
Voted against the Right to Contraception Act, to enshrine women’s and families’ right to access contraception into federal law.
Voted against the Women’s Health and Protection Act, which would codify Roe to protect a woman’s right to abortion.
Voted against the Ensuring Access to Abortion Act, which would safeguard a woman’s right to travel to another state to receive an abortion if their state bans the medical procedure. This bill would stop states from putting a bounty on the heads of women, families and doctors who assist in obtaining an abortion.
DCCC spokesperson Tommy Garcia:
“David Valadao’s despicable commitment to ripping away reproductive freedom is heard loud and clear. With every extreme vote against protecting and further restricting abortion rights, Valadao is building the case against himself for 2024.”
