Physicians for Reproductive Health supports the Women’s Health Protection Act

Today, the Women’s Health Protection Act, which would create much-needed federal protections against state-level restrictions on reproductive rights, was reintroduced in Congress. Dr. Anne Davis, Consulting Medical Director of Physicians for Reproductive Health, released a statement in support of the Women’s Health Protection Act’s reintroduction:

“We need a federal law like the Women’s Health Protection Act that prioritizes the health and safety of women over politics. More and more states are trying to pass restrictions that erase women from decisions about their own health care and take away their access to that care—the Women’s Health Protection Act would put a stop to these dangerous attacks. It would cement access to comprehensive reproductive care for all women, whether they live in Texas or New York, and keep politics out of the exam room. As physicians, we work every day to make sure all of our patients receive the high-quality health care they need in a safe, compassionate environment. It is critical to the lives and health of our patients that this bill passes to ensure access to the full range of reproductive health care services across the country.”
