H.Res.238

Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that every person has the basic right to emergency health care, including abortion care.

Introduced·3/21/25

The House of Representatives expresses the sense that every person has the right to emergency health care, including abortion care.

The bill emphasizes that every person, including pregnant individuals, should have access to emergency health care without discrimination. It highlights the risks posed by bans and restrictions on reproductive health care, particularly abortion care, which can endanger the health and lives of pregnant people. The resolution underscores the disproportionate impact of these restrictions on patients of color, specifically Black and Indigenous pregnant patients, who are more likely to face life-threatening pregnancy complications.
