Know Your Reproductive Rights

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in June 2022, abortion laws and access to reproductive care have varied from state to state.

California has taken steps to safeguard abortion rights since then, including as recently as October 2023, when Governor Newsom and the state legislature passed measures into law that bolstered privacy protections for reproductive health care data, safeguarding abortion providers against out-of-state legal action and expanding abortion care training opportunities for medical residents and other providers. 

In California, you have the legal right to privacy, including the right to choose abortion care, to choose or refuse birth control and to access reproductive health care, free from harassment and discrimination. 

I believe that abortion care is health care, and all women should have the right to decide when and how they want to start a family.

I am proud to be a Member of the Congressional Pro-Choice Caucus (PCC)—a group of over 150 Members of the U.S. House of Representatives committed to advancing reproductive rights and defending freedom.
