U.S. Congressional Advocacy

Rally in support of the Women's Health Protection Act.

On Capitol Hill, our legal experts and legislative strategists are leading efforts to create and advance progressive public policies to strengthen reproductive rights and access for generations to come—from assuring equitable spending in health care to promoting nationwide protections for access to abortion, safe and respectful maternal health care, assisted reproductive technologies like IVF, contraception, and other critical reproductive care.

Our federal policy and advocacy staff are go-to voices on the Hill for sharp analysis and counsel when it comes to reproductive rights in the courts and in policy development. The Center spearheads efforts to push forward proactive legislation, provides technical assistance in legislative drafting and strategy, submits testimony for the congressional record, hosts congressional briefings on policy issues and legislation, helps prepare expert witnesses for congressional hearings, and educates and empowers members of Congress and their staff to take action to champion reproductive health and rights.

208 House co-sponsors of the Women’s Health Protection Act, March 2023.
5 Congressional hearings in the 116th Congress about the need to defend and advance abortion access.
