Cosponsor

Compared with: Working to ensure reproductive health care, including abortion care, is affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.

The stated policy goal is about making reproductive health care, including abortion care, affordable, accessible, and stigma-free. The cosponsored bill only renames a VA clinic in San Jose and does not address reproductive health care, abortion access, affordability, or stigma. There is no substantive policy connection between the action and the quoted goal.

HR 8907 · IMPACT to Save Moms Act

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: Working to ensure reproductive health care, including abortion care, is affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.

The cited bill summary is about a CMS demonstration project to let states test payment models for maternity and postpartum care under Medicaid and CHIP. It does not mention abortion care, reproductive health care access more broadly, affordability for abortion services, or stigma-free provision. Because the policy goal is specifically about reproductive health care including abortion care, this maternity-payment cosponsorship is not a direct substantive match.

HR 8074 · Kira Johnson Act

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: Working to ensure reproductive health care, including abortion care, is affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.

The quoted goal is about making reproductive health care, including abortion care, affordable, accessible, and stigma-free. The cosponsored Kira Johnson Act, as summarized, focuses on maternal health equity grants, provider training on racism/bias, and respectful maternity care compliance programs. That is related to maternal health and discrimination in maternity settings, but it does not directly address abortion care or the affordability/accessibility of reproductive health care as stated, so a defensible comparison cannot be made beyond a broad thematic overlap.

“Legislation I'm working to ensure that reproductive health care, including abortion care, isn’t only legal, but affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Kira Johnson Act This bill establishes various grants for establishing or expanding programs to advance maternal health equity.”
“Specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must award grants for community-based programs to improve maternal health outcomes for demographic groups with elevated rates of maternal mortality and morbidity, maternal health disparities, and other adverse outcomes; training for health care providers and others who work in maternity care settings on reducing and preventing racism, bias, and discrimination; and programs in hospitals, health systems, and other maternity care settings to establish processes to identify and address instances of racism or evidence of bias in maternity care (i.e., respectful maternity care compliance programs).”

HR 8089 · Perinatal Workforce Act

Cosponsor

No direct connectionCosponsorship · Reviewed automated analysis

Compared with: Working to ensure reproductive health care, including abortion care, is affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.

The cosponsored bill concerns perinatal workforce development, respectful maternal care, and research into maternity care delivery. It does not directly address abortion access, abortion affordability, stigma surrounding abortion, or reproductive health care affordability/access more broadly in the specific way stated by the priority. The connection is at most indirect through general maternal health workforce support, so a defensible comparison cannot be made.

“Legislation I'm working to ensure that reproductive health care, including abortion care, isn’t only legal, but affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.”

Official statement · Captured 2026-10-28

Supporting provisions

“Perinatal Workforce Act This bill establishes programs and requires research to diversify the perinatal workforce and advance respectful maternal care delivery models.”
“Specifically, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) must award grants to education and training programs to grow and diversify the professions that make up the perinatal workforce.”
“HHS must also disseminate guidance on respectful maternal care delivery. This guidance must cover, among other topics, recruiting and retaining maternity care providers from diverse backgrounds and incorporating trained midwives and other perinatal health workers into maternity care teams.”
“In addition, the National Institutes of Health must study best practices for culturally and linguistically congruent maternity care.”
“The reporting must focus on barriers to entering those professions for low-income and minority women.”
