Jared spoke out forcefully against the state’s six-week ban and continues to push for federal protections to ensure every American has the freedom to make their own health care decisions.
Jared Moskowitz will continue to support federal protections for reproductive rights and abortion access.
Occurrences
Evidence
During his first term, Moskowitz worked tirelessly on initiatives to address gun violence, defend our democracy, strengthen support for Israel, and protect women’s reproductive freedom.
Congressman Jared Moskowitz and 239 of his Democratic colleagues filed an amicus brief that seeks to protect access to the nation’s most commonly used abortion pill; Moskowitz said, “We cannot allow a woman’s right to choose to be trampled by this extreme ruling.”
Congress.gov indexes Moskowitz as a cosponsor of abortion-related bills including H.R. 12, the Women’s Health Protection Act, and H.R. 4099, which prohibits interference with interstate abortion services.
On the motion to recommit on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, Moskowitz voted Yea; the roll call page shows the motion failed 205-216.
Assessments
Moskowitz continued to support federal reproductive-rights and abortion-access protections through concrete same-term actions: cosponsoring federal abortion-protection legislation, joining a congressional amicus effort to protect mifepristone access, publicly defending the right to choose, and voting in a way consistent with blocking anti-abortion measures. Because the promise was about continued support rather than enactment of a specific law, these legislative, legal, and voting actions fulfill the commitment.
