Reproductive Rights
It is essential that everyone, regardless of income level, has access to family planning resources. Access to contraceptives and reproductive health care are proven to reduce health costs for both the individual and the health care system as a whole, as well as reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies and abortions. We have already seen the disastrous consequences of overturning Roe, and I will continue to advocate for the Women’s Health Protection Act until everyone can access the reproductive healthcare they need. As a member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus, I am committed to working for reproductive equity and the right of Oregonians and Americans to choose their own healthcare and method of family planning.

Congresswoman Issues Statement on Supreme Court’s Ruling Affirming the Right to Safe, Legal Abortion
WASHINGTON, DC [06/27/16] – Today Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (D-OR) issued the following statement about the Supreme Court’s 5-3 ruling that a Texas law restricting access to abortion is unconstitutional. The state law required abortion providers to have admitting privileges at a nearby hospital and required abortion clinics to meet the standards for ambulatory surgical centers.
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Suzanne Bonamici (OR-01) joined more than 50 members of Congress today to introduce the Equal Access to Abortion Coverage in Health Insurance (EACH) Woman Act, which would ensure that women receive coverage for all reproductive health care.
The EACH Woman Act would require that federal insurance programs, including Medicaid, cover abortion services, and it would prohibit federal, state, and local governments from restricting abortion coverage by private insurance companies.
