Republican legislators have snuck harmful and unfair abortion restrictions into the state budget.

The budget includes restrictions that would force women seeking an abortion to undergo a trans-abdominal ultrasound, eliminate low-cost family planning services, and prohibit rape crisis centers from even mentioning abortion to sexual assault victims.

This puts low-income women at a disadvantage, forces women to pay for medically unnecessary ultrasounds, and shames survivors of rape.

This is not how a government is meant to treat its citizens.

We need these restrictions repealed.
