How to Contact Your Representative About the Women's Health Protection Act

The Issue

What's at Stake

The Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA) would establish a federal statutory right to provide and receive abortion care, protecting abortion access nationwide regardless of state law. It would also prohibit state laws that single out abortion providers for targeted regulations not applied to comparable medical procedures — laws that have been used to shut down clinics without improving patient safety.

The WHPA has been reintroduced in the 119th Congress. It has passed the House in previous sessions but has not yet passed the Senate. Your senators' votes on this bill could determine federal abortion access for decades.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What would the Women's Health Protection Act do?

The WHPA would establish a federal statutory right to provide and access abortion care, overriding state laws that ban or severely restrict abortion. It would also prohibit targeted restrictions on abortion providers that are not applied to comparable medical procedures.

Has the WHPA passed before?

The House has passed the WHPA twice — in 2021 and 2022 — but it has not passed the Senate due to the filibuster threshold. In the current Congress, the path requires sustained constituent pressure on senators who may be persuadable.

Does calling about the WHPA make a difference?

Yes. Senate offices track constituent calls on the WHPA very closely. Sustained pressure from constituents in competitive states has historically influenced whether senators agree to co-sponsor or vote for reproductive rights legislation.
