Email from Hillary Clinton: A dangerous trend for women's health

Hillary for America
Friend --
With today's vote to restrict a woman's right to make her own health care decisions, Republicans in Congress have made it abundantly clear where their priorities lie:
Instead of helping everyday Americans and their families, these politicians are trying to take women back more than 40 years.
I'll stand up for women and our right to access reproductive health care. Will you join me?
This bill puts women's health and rights at risk. It undermines the role doctors play in personal health care decisions, and it burdens survivors of sexual assault.
It also follows a dangerous trend we are witnessing across the country. In just the first three months of 2015, more than 300 bills have been introduced in state legislatures -- on top of the nearly 30 introduced in Congress -- that restrict access to abortion.
Republicans won't lift a finger to ensure paid family leave or increase access to quality childcare, but apparently they'll waste time and taxpayer money to try and get between a woman and her doctor.
I've stood up for women and families my entire career. Safeguarding women's reproductive health and rights is critical and deeply connected to building stronger families and a stronger America.
Add your name if you'll take on this fight with me:

Thank you for joining me,
Hillary
