Vote Tomorrow: Don’t Mess with Abortion Access for D.C. Women


National Women's Law Center
Stop the restrictions!
                Tell your Representative to oppose the effort to limit access to abortion for women who live in Washington, D.C.
Take Action

With only a few days left until August recess, this is what they are prioritizing — an anti-abortion bill that the Senate will never consider? Well, the House of Representatives is at it again and this time, just to add insult to injury, they are going after women who have no voting representation in the House.
Tell your Member of Congress to oppose the D.C. Abortion Ban and stop your Representative from making decisions for women about their reproductive health.
H.R. 3803, also known as the “D.C. Abortion Ban,” would ban almost all abortions in Washington, D.C. for women starting at twenty weeks post-fertilization. The legislation seeks to ban abortion after twenty weeks regardless of a woman’s situation and without exceptions for rape, incest or to protect a woman’s health.
This unconstitutional bill follows the onslaught of reproductive health attacks that aim to deny women access to a constitutional right. The attacks this year have been particularly extreme: from state laws that defund Planned Parenthood to federal legislation that would require doctors to racially profile their patients before allowing them decide to terminate a pregnancy.
We’ve said it once, we’ll say it again: our health is not up for debate! Tell your Representative to oppose the D.C. Abortion Ban and stop restricting women’s access to reproductive health today.
Thank you for continuing to fight.
Sincerely,

Judy Waxman Judy Waxman Vice President for Health and Reproductive Rights National Women’s Law Center
