Reproductive Health
Legislative and Regulatory Letters, Statements and Testimony
As we work to shape legislation, we encourage members of Congress to introduce and pass laws that benefit working families. Once laws are passed, it’s up to the relevant federal agency to determine how they are implemented. As the agency defines rules for each law, we comment and urge them to keep your best interests in mind. Read some of our letters and testimony below.
