Support legislation requiring Bureau of Prisons facilities with female populations to provide full-time, on-site obstetric and gynecological care and related reproductive health services for incarcerated women.

I’m proud to join my colleagues in introducing this legislation which will strengthen oversight and ensure that no one in federal custody is denied essential reproductive health care.

Foushee endorses and helps introduce a bill that would require federal prisons with female populations to provide on-site OB-GYN care and related reproductive health services.

I introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on llllllllllllll A BILL To amend title 18, United States Code, to ensure access to obstetrician-gynecologists for female prisoners... The Director shall ensure that all prisoners have access to an obstetrician-gynecologist... and shall employ at least one... obstetrician-gynecologist... on a full-time basis at each facility of the Bureau of Prisons at which female prisoners are incarcerated.

Foushee introduced the Ensuring OB-GYN Care in Prisons Act to require full-time OB-GYN access and related care for female prisoners in Bureau of Prisons facilities.

Foushee said she introduced the Menopause Education for Medical Students Act on June 11, 2026. This is a concrete women’s-health legislative action, but it does not address Bureau of Prisons on-site OB/GYN care for incarcerated women.

Recent legislative activity shows continued work on women’s health, but not the specific prison reproductive-care mandate in the promise.

The official sponsored-legislation page updated on June 8, 2026 lists recent items such as H.R. 9177, H.R. 9204, H.R. 8832, and H.R. 8807. The page shows women-focused and maternal-health bills, but nothing about prison-based obstetric or gynecological care.

Her current sponsorship list shows active bill work in adjacent women’s-health areas, but no prison-specific reproductive-health legislation.

Page 2 of the sponsored-legislation list includes H.R. 8055 on WIC for new moms, H.R. 7973 on maternal mortality, and H.R. 7830 on discharge plans for pregnant individuals. These are pregnancy and maternal-health measures, not the Bureau of Prisons medical-care requirement in the claim.

The closest recent legislative actions are maternal-health bills, but they still do not match the prison OB/GYN-care promise.
