As a doctor and a mom, I trust women to make their own decisions about family planning. House Republicans are backing a complete nationwide abortion ban with no exceptions - that type of ban would override our protections here in Washington state. We can't let that happen.

After 17 years practicing medicine, I know that when restrictions like the GA 6-week ban are passed, the number of abortions don’t go down—they go up. And more women die from unsafe abortions. This is a decision for women to make; we have to get government out of the exam room.

Don't think for a second that

An HHS official tells
@weijia
that there will NOT be special efforts made to reunite children who have already been separated from their families bc of the Zero Tolerance Policy, despite Trumps EO. Process will proceed for minors currently in the unaccompanied children program.
