Rep. Pressley: ‘Health Care Is Abortion Care’

‘Particularly low income and young people, LGBTQ, black and brown folks, continue to face barriers in accessing comprehensive reproductive health care’

EXCERPT:

PRESSLEY: "Even in states like the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which I represent, individuals, particularly low income and young people, LGBTQ, and black and brown folks, continue to face barriers in accessing comprehensive reproductive health care, and let me be clear, health care is abortion care. But in these times, we’ve seen many states emboldened by this Administration pass additional restrictions that further hinder individuals’ access to abortion, endangering lives, and criminalizing individuals for decisions that should be kept between themselves and their doctor. It’s important to discuss these draconian state restrictions.”
