Mike Garcia Tries to Deny Abortion Access for Servicewomen

In an out-of-touch display, Rep. Mike Garcia attempted to rip away freedoms from the women who took an oath to protect his. Right before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Rep. Garcia voted to deny servicewoman access to abortion.

Women in uniform already face many hurdles in accessing critical reproductive care, including financing procedures out of pocket, navigating travel costs, and receiving approval from the chain of command. Garcia tried to make receiving critical care even harder.

This is far from the first time Mike Garcia placed himself between women and their reproductive rights. His record is clear:

• Every single House Republican, including Mike Garcia, voted against protecting access to an abortion and protecting a woman's right to make her own decisions.

• Mike Garcia joined 183 other House Republicans in signing an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe.

• Mike Garcia is a co-sponsor of the Life at Conception Act, the federal personhood bill that would ban all abortions and certain types of birth control such as IUDs.

DCCC Spokesperson Maddy Mundy
"Mike Garcia's complete lack of regard for women's rights, including the women who risk their lives to serve our country, is reprehensible. California voters will stand up to Garcia's radical agenda and reject his brazen attempts to rip away women's freedoms this November."
