Protecting Access to Abortion
Chris trusts women and their doctors, not judges or politicians, to make the health care decisions that are right for them. The Dobbs decision undermined over five decades of settled law and stripped away the fundamental rights of women across New Hampshire. That’s why Chris is fighting to restore and codify the rights established under Roe and safeguard access to reproductive health care.
On the New Hampshire Executive Council, Chris led the fight to restore and protect funding for Planned Parenthood and reproductive health care for thousands of Granite Staters.
In Congress Chris helped pass the Women’s Health Protection Act in the wake of the Dobbs decision to codify the right to abortion into law. He also introduced legislation to reaffirm the right to travel across state lines for abortion care and to safeguard access to IVF treatment. When Donald Trump froze funding for Title X, the nation’s only dedicated federal family planning and preventive health service program, Chris introduced legislation to protect and expand the services that 10,000 Granite Staters rely on.
In the U.S. Senate, Chris will continue to lead the fight to protect individual freedoms and safeguard fundamental rights to access health care for women.
