09/13/2021 Tweet - "The right of women to make decisions about their own bodies is non-negotiable--and the law in Texas is unconscionable. Last week, I met with patients and providers to hear about the impact of Texas Senate Bill 8. Our Administration will fight that law--and others like it."
09/10/2021 Tweet - "What's happening in Texas, in Georgia, and across our country with policies attacking women's rights, reproductive rights, voting rights, worker rights--Republicans think if they can win in California, they can do this anywhere. We won't let them win."

04/19/2021 Tweet - "Black women deserve to be heard and treated with dignity--throughout pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum. By investing $200 million to improve maternal mortality and morbidity health outcomes, our administration is taking action to ensure they are."
