I am proudly pro-choice and believe that the right of every person to choose what to do with their own body is an essential human right.
The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade immediately stripped millions of Americans of their fundamental right to choose if or when to have children – and left millions more scared and outraged.
In the wake of the Dobbs ruling, I voted to pass two bills – the Women’s Health Protection Act and the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act – to protect women’s healthcare rights. And I’m proud to be a champion for women’s reproductive rights in Congress. As a member of the Pro-Choice Caucus and the Ranking Member of the Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee, I’ve consistently stood up, voted against, and led the fight against Republican efforts to undermine reproductive freedom.
Congressional Republicans have made clear that if they retake a majority in Washington, they will move quickly to outlaw abortion nationwide. A nationwide ban on abortion would override the protections here in New Jersey and would endanger the lives of countless women across this country.
In the Senate, I will not rest until we pass a clear, comprehensive law restoring reproductive freedom for everyone, everywhere in this country.
