we can’t let Republicans use healthcare as a bargaining chip

Congresswoman Nikema Williams is a leader who lives out loud and on purpose fighting for the promise of America. She will continue to fight for the dignity and opportunity for all of Georgia's Fifth Congressional District. If you'd like to receive fewer emails, let us know here.

First, Republicans in Congress outright refused to extend ACA subsidies to keep healthcare costs low for the American people, in exchange for a "promise" to vote on it.

Now, they're tying those subsidies to reproductive care. Their "deal" renews subsidies for another year — but only if they can impose abortion restrictions on ACA plans.

Sign on if you agree: We won't stand for any so-called "deal" that blocks access to reproductive care.

Jason, we knew there would be a catch, but this is out of the question. This isn't just a negotiation tactic — it's a national attack on reproductive care, disguised as a "deal."

I spent years working at Planned Parenthood and I know just how essential these services are. These centers provide access to birth control, cancer screenings, prenatal care, and abortion services for millions. Taking away that access is not a policy debate.

I refuse to let Republicans continue treating healthcare and reproductive rights as bargaining chips. No "deal" should ever limit access to reproductive healthcare. Congress must reject ANY offer that jeopardizes access to care — add your name if you're with me.
