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 and accessible. The cosponsored bill is about increasing VA travel mileage reimbursement and speeding payment for veterans traveling for vocational rehabilitation, counseling, examination, treatment, or care. That is a health-access measure, but it is specific to VA travel reimbursement and does not directly concern reproductive health care or abortion care.
“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.”
