Today, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly in support of dangerous bills that threaten the health and well-being of millions of people. It’s an “ongoing campaign that seeks to discredit reproductive health care providers and to make it harder for my colleagues and me to provide safe, legal care to our patients,” our Reproductive Health Advocacy Fellow Dr. Pratima Gupta said in a statement. She added:
“Abortion opponents in Congress want to close the doors of Planned Parenthood and make abortion unavailable. My colleagues and I recognize the importance of access to abortion and the incredible loss that would result should Planned Parenthood be barred from participation in federal programs like Medicaid. In the face of these ongoing legislative attacks, Physicians will stand strong in support of Planned Parenthood and safe, legal abortion.”
