"We have to make sure that women have free to access to medication for their health when they need it. Unfortunately…what we see across this country is really an attack on women's rights when it comes to their health care, and we just have to push back.

"Many of us have been talking about for women, their reproductive freedom rights, just in general, their right to determine to their healthcare needs and be free to access essential medication to do just that."
