WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Statement from C. Nicole Mason, President and CEO of the Institute for Women's Policy Research on today's anti-abortion vote in the US House of Representatives:

Key Points: 
  • WASHINGTON, Jan. 11, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Statement from C. Nicole Mason, President and CEO of the Institute for Women's Policy Research on today's anti-abortion vote in the US House of Representatives:
    Today's vote in the House of Representatives is dangerous, disingenuous, and undermines women's access to the full range of reproductive healthcare options, including abortion care.

  • Even before the most recent spate of restrictions following the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, abortion bans cost state economies billions of dollars.
  • IWPR remains committed to working with Congress and our partners to ensure women have access to the full range of reproductive health care services, including abortion care.
