While the Trump administration wages a relentless campaign against Planned Parenthood and an all-out assault on reproductive health care, California is fighting back.
This week I led a multistate coalition in filing a motion for a preliminary injunction to block the administration from defunding Planned Parenthood and enacting what amounts to a back-door abortion ban.
Please sign my petition today if you agree we can't allow these back-door bans to go into effect.
Here's what's going on:
The GOP's so-called "big, beautiful" bill, signed into law this summer, contained a "Defund Provision" that blocks certain health centers — including Planned Parenthood — from receiving federal Medicaid funding.
Let's be clear: this funding was *never* used to provide abortion care. Instead, it allows Planned Parenthood to provide cancer screenings, STI testing and treatment, and birth control to low-income patients.
But thanks to Trump's reckless and cruel budget provisions, this loss of funding puts these health centers at risk of closure, leaving vulnerable patients in the lurch.
My support for Planned Parenthood and the many other health centers providing essential care is resolute — and the stakes have never been higher.
Will you add your name today to stand with me in the fight to protect Planned Parenthood and reproductive health care?
