DESCRIPTION:The U.S. Senate will be holding a hearing on the abortion bans crisis 
 happening in America.  The hearing is scheduled for June 4 @ 7 AM PT (10 AM 
 ET)\n\nJoin statement released by Senate Health, Education, Labor, and 
 Pensions (HELP) Committee Chair Bernie Sanders (VT) and Sen. Patty Murray 
 (WA) states that "in the two years since Roe was overturned, Republican 
 abortion bans have created a full-blown healthcare crisis—forcing 
 providers to close their doors and shut down their practices, putting 
 women's lives in danger, decimating access to maternal healthcare, and 
 forcing women to remain pregnant, no matter their circumstances." \n\nWATCH

 #ReproductiveFreedom\n\n\nARTICLE: "Senate Plans Hearing on 'Healthcare 
 Nightmare' From GOP Abortion Bans" ( May 29, 2024)\n\n"As of May 1, just 
 nine states and Washington, D.C. don't ban abortion or impose gestational 
 limits, according to the Guttmacher Institute. That means 41 states have 
 restrictions: 14 have total bans; seven ban abortion at or before 18 weeks; 
 and 20 ban it after 18 weeks. Some states have exceptions for rape, incest, 
 and the health of the pregnant person—though providers and patients have 
 stressed that such policies often don't actually help those seeking 
 care."\n\nFor the full article, go to:
