Congress built the vaccine firewall. Now Congress must defend it. 

In a devastating blow to reproductive rights, a new law set to take effect tonight will drastically limit access to abortion services in several US states. The law, which has sparked widespread controversy and protests, effectively bans abortion after a certain point in pregnancy, leaving many to wonder what this means for women's healthcare and autonomy. A parent welcoming a newborn into the world tonight will be forced to confront the harsh reality that the same rights and freedoms they enjoy are being stripped away from others. The law's proponents argue it's a necessary step to protect the unborn, but critics see it as a draconian measure that will have far-reaching consequences for women's lives.

Tonight, a parent will look down at her newborn and say: let’s wait. The virus will not. Neither will the bleed.
