Yesterday, Mike Garcia voted in favor of new nationwide restrictions on abortion and health care access for more than 350,000 active duty women.
House Republicans’ Defense spending bill includes extreme restrictions to prevent military personnel from traveling to seek reproductive health care, effectively blocking service members and their families from accessing vital health care services.
Garcia’s vote to force anti-abortion policy into must-pass legislation is the latest example of his constant push towards a national abortion ban.
This is the second national abortion restriction Garcia has voted for in committee in the past month. He also voted for restrictions on abortion access for veterans and other VA beneficiaries in the Military Construction, and Veterans Affairs funding bill.
DCCC Spokesperson Dan Gottlieb:
“Mike Garcia and House Republicans are running back the exact same extreme playbook from last year – pushing dangerous attacks on reproductive freedoms. It is abundantly clear that their goal remains a national abortion ban.”
