House Democrats again passed legislation to protect the right to make personal reproductive health care decisions as Republicans threaten to pass a nationwide abortion ban if they take the majority. To no surprise, María Elvira Salazar voted against legislation that would protect access to safe, legal abortion.
-
The Women’s Health Protection Act of 2022 would protect a woman’s right to access abortion and is similar to the legislation House Democrats passed last year that remains stalled in the Senate. Not a single Republican voted for the WHPA and or to protect Roe in 2021 – and they didn’t again today, even after seeing the devastating effects of the SCOTUS’ decision to rip away reproductive freedom.

The Ensuring Access to Abortion Act would safegaurd 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 the abortion.
DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“María Elvira Salazar may not want to talk about her crusade to ban abortion nationwide, but her vote today is further proof of her sinister agenda to rip away our rights.”
