"Dr. Ghazaleh Moayedi, a civilian OB-GYN, worked in Hawaii where abortion access is excellent. But for servicemembers, it's a different story. She wept after sitting with a servicemember who needed to count quarters & forgo pain medication to afford her care. Unacceptable."Read on Twitter
"Let me be clear: it is inhumane to force women to remain pregnant against their will. It is arrogant to think that we know better than a woman or her doctor about whats best for her body. It is wrong to create government-mandated pregnancies. Watch live: c-span.org"Read on Twitter
"Starting now! My hearing @HASCDemocrats MILPERS Subcommittee hearing on reproductive health & readiness. Hear from servicemembers impacted by abortion restrictions & military and civilian doctors. Watch live on C-SPAN2 or stream at c-span.org"Read on Twitter
