Reproductive healthcare is women's healthcare, and it matters!
And no, it isn't just about abortion (although that alone should be enough). It's also the healthcare for people with endometriosis, PCOS, adenomyosis. It's options for people facing infertility.

Abigail Spanberger @abigailspanberger.com · 3d

Right now, with the stroke of a pen, reproductive rights could be taken away in Virginia — if we elect Winsome Earle-Sears as Governor.

It’s unacceptable. Reproductive healthcare decisions should stay between a woman, her family, and her doctor. Full stop.

Thanks to Republicans in Congress, some Americans will have to pay more than $22,000 every year to keep their health insurance coverage.

$22,000.

That could be a matter of keeping health care coverage or just giving up—and for some people, life and death.

The government is shut down because Trump and the Republicans are hellbent on taking health care away from you.

And they won’t even come to the table to talk to us about it.

It’s sad that some folks only ‘see the light’ when it hits home. We were sent here to represent hundreds of thousands of people, not just our households.

If the subsidies expire, people in my home parish in Louisiana will pay $984/family member MORE per year for health insurance. Working families can’t afford to be let down by our government. Call your reps and tell them it’s time to side with the people, not the billionaires.
