VtPHA Statement on the Texas Abortion Ban
The Vermont Public Health Association (VtPHA) is extremely concerned over the newly enacted Texas statute banning abortion at six weeks of pregnancy and the Supreme Court’s failure to block this harmful legislation. Women have a right to full reproductive health care, including abortion services. The Texas legislation intentionally negates a woman’s right to choose and enables enforcement by intimidation and vigilantism by actions of citizens who oppose a woman’s right to reproductive choice. The Texas law is now emboldening other states to do the same. The VtPHA applauds our Vermont Congressional Delegation and our Vermont State legislators who are working to codify abortion rights at both the state and national level.
Please refer to the VtPHA policy on Women’s Reproductive Rights and the APHA statement on the Texas abortion ban.
