Press Release

"Congress should be working on a budget to avoid a government shutdown. Instead, we are wasting valuable time voting to defund Planned Parenthood and attempting to criminalize how doctors serve patients. As one of the few doctors in Congress, I find both of these bills troubling. We should not be limiting access to health care for millions of women and families. And we certainly should not be inserting government into doctor's offices and interfering in how doctors practice medicine. Both these bills limit patient choice and that is bad policy. I urge my colleagues to come together and work on a budget without threatening women's health."
