“It is a deep disappointment and injustice that the Senate failed to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act. This legislation is critical to safeguard abortion and reproductive rights in states across the country. Now, every American will remember how their United States Senator voted on the fundamental right for millions of women, trans, and gender non-conforming people to make their own reproductive health decisions to access abortion care. I am grateful to New York Senators, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, for their leadership on this legislation, and all senators who supported it. We will continue to fight, legislate, and organize to ensure access to safe, legal abortion for anyone needing this care.”
