What Has Nancy Pelosi Said About Healthcare?

The Maryland native has supported legislation to protect women’s reproductive health. In response to the reversal of Roe v Wade in 2022, Pelosi issued a statement accusing the Republican Party of “finally [achieving] its dark, dangerous, long-held goal: to rip away a woman’s freedom over her most fundamental decisions. About her body, her health, her life.”

“Since the Republican-captured Supreme Court eviscerated Roe v. Wade, at least nine Republican-controlled states have already banned abortion,” Pelosi continued, “More have enacted draconian restrictions, so that exercising this fundamental right is practically impossible. In doing so, these extreme measures have forced countless women to seek reproductive care in nearby states.”

Pelosi concluded by promoting the Ensuring Women’s Right to Reproductive Freedom Act, which would have helped women be able to travel and, therefore, “receive the health care they need” in addition to protecting “healthcare providers who deliver reproductive services and all those who help women make the journey to those services.”
