June 24, 2024
Washington, DC - Congresswoman Hinson (IA-02) released the following statement on the 2nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade being overturned.
"Countless lives have been saved since Roe v. Wade was overturned. The pro-life movement was never just about ending abortion, it has always been about helping women choose life and saving as many lives as possible. I'm proud to have championed legislation to expand access to maternal care, improve resources for pregnant women, end stillbirth, protect pregnant students on campus, and increase the Child Tax Credit for working families. I will continue working to save the lives of moms and babies, support expecting women, and help families thrive." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson
