Compared with: Working to ensure reproductive health care, including abortion care, is affordable, accessible, and stigma-free for all.
The cosponsored bill would create an HHS ombuds position aimed at supporting access to reproductive and sexual health services, including pregnancy and abortion services. It also includes public education about medication abortions and work on consumer access and insurance coverage, which meaningfully advances affordability/access concerns. However, the measure is narrower than the full stated goal because it does not itself make care affordable or universally accessible, and the passages do not show it directly addressing stigma.
“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.”
