Abortion Is Health Care
Access to safe, legal abortion is access to vital health care—and we need those in power to take action now to ensure accessible, high-quality health care to everyone in America.
Sign this PetitionOne Year Since Dobbs: 18 Vulnerable House Republicans Side With MAGA to Attack Abortion Access
With this week marking the anniversary of the disastrous Dobbs decision, we wanted to share new research which documents the abortion stances of every Complicit Caucus member. Since last year, support for abortion rights has grown, even and especially in red states, which puts the Complicit Caucus’s collective stance on abortion even further out of step with a vast majority of Americans.
Despite running as moderates, the entire Complicit Caucus positions itself among the extreme right on abortion. These members of Congress, who vote lockstep with Republican leadership, represent constituents who strongly believe in protecting and expanding the right to access abortion care. Let’s review their track records, shall we?

We’ll continue monitoring the Complicit Caucus and update our findings. Don’t be fooled by attempts to paint these 18 vulnerable Republican House members as moderates. When you look at their voting records on abortion and other key issues, the truth is crystal clear: The MAGA agenda is their agenda. Biden won in each of their districts in 2020, and we can beat them again and take back the House in 2024.
