Washington, D.C. – Today, Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC) Co-Chairs Congresswomen Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), Jackie Speier (CA-14), Lois Frankel (FL-21), Vice Chairs Congresswomen Veronica Escobar (TX-16), Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Freshman Representative Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (CA-53), and Whip Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) issued the following statement on President Joe Biden’s Executive Order on Securing Access to Reproductive and Other Health Care Services.
 
“We applaud and enthusiastically endorse President Biden’s executive order to help secure access to reproductive services, including by supporting patients who travel for abortion care,” said the Members. “Last night, Kansans rejected extreme GOP efforts to control a woman’s health care decisions about her body. Women are making their voices heard: everyone deserves the freedom to decide what is best for themselves and their families.”
