As the House prepares to vote on the Women’s Health Protection Act, Young Kim must tell CA-39 voters where she stands
Silence speaks volumes, and on protecting reproductive freedom and the constitutional right to an abortion, it appears Rep. Young Kim has lost her tongue.
As the House gets set to vote on legislation that would take the long-overdue step of codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade and affirm nearly 50 years of Supreme Court precedent, voters in CA-39 deserve to know if their representative will stand with them and the majority of Americans who support access to safe, legal abortion.
This legislation could not be more urgent, after Texas Republicans passed a dead-of-the-night, radical bounty-hunting abortion ban that controls people’s decisions and criminalizes doctors who provide care for their patients. This is the loudest alarm yet that abortion access is in grave danger, in Texas and across the country. While the Texas bill is extreme, it’s part of the Republican agenda to end access to abortion in this country. Rep. Young Kim must answer now: will she stand up for Americans’ freedom to make their own personal health care decisions, or once again show that she is completely out of touch with CA-39 voters?
DCCC Spokesperson Adrian Eng-Gastelum
“To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Rep. Young Kim has gone dead silent at a time when her constituents need her the most. Young Kim has a choice: stand up for Californian women’s freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies, or answer for her radical attacks on reproductive health care at the ballot box in 2022.”
