Will Vulnerable Rep. Ann Wagner Stand with Missourians, or Continue Her Radical Attacks on Reproductive Health Care?

As the House prepares to vote on the Women's Health Protection Act, Ann Wagner stands in opposition to majority of Americans who support safe, legal abortion

Vulnerable Republican Ann Wagner has continually staked out one of the most radical positions possible on reproductive rights. Now, as the House prepares to vote on the Women's Health Protection Act, Ann Wagner will once again prove that she's deeply out of step with the majority of Americans who support access to safe, legal abortion.

This legislation, which would take the long-overdue step of codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade and affirm nearly 50 years of Supreme Court precedent, could not be more urgent after Texas Republicans passed their bounty-hunting abortion ban that controls people's decisions and criminalizes doctors who provide care for their patients. This is the loudest alarm yet that abortion access is in grave danger, in Texas and across the country. While the Texas bill is extreme, it's part of the Republican agenda to end access to abortion in this country.

Rep. Ann Wagner should know: All eyes are on her tomorrow as she chooses to either stand up for Missourians' freedom to make their own personal health care decisions, or once again prove that she is completely out of touch with the majority of Americans.

"All eyes are on Ann Wagner as she prepares to vote on urgently-needed legislation that would protect safe, legal abortion across the country," said DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson. "Ann Wagner has a choice: stand up for Missouri women's freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies, or answer for her radical attacks on reproductive health care at the ballot box in 2022."
