María Elvira Salazar’s March Toward a Nationwide Abortion Ban: Attacking Service Members’ Access to Reproductive Care

Yesterday, María Elvira Salazar voted for new, extreme restrictions on abortion care for 350,000 active duty women in the military.

House Republicans, including Salazar, voted overwhelmingly to insert a far-right amendment that would restrict service members’ ability to seek and access essential reproductive care, undermining bipartisan efforts to strengthen health care for our armed forces.

Salazar is paving the way for a national abortion ban with her vote on new restrictions for service members. 

DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“If it’s a day that ends in ‘Y’, María Elvira Salazar will vote for national abortion restrictions. She is more interested in attacking the reproductive freedoms of our country’s service members than ensuring our troops have the support they need, and Floridians won’t forget how wrong Salazar’s attacks are when they head to the polls in November.”
