Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Mark my words, women will not forget the cruelty Republicans have caused. And Democrats will not let Republicans whistle past the graveyard they have spent so long digging. I will never stop fighting for women’s rights to control their own bodies. NEVER. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

With limited executive authority, we need more pro-choice Senators willing to waive the filibuster so we can make Roe and other key protections for women federal law. We also have to hold Republicans accountable for this harsh reality they’ve created. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We absolutely have to fight back against Republicans’ cruelty. The stakes could not be higher. That's why I led Senate Democrats in urging @POTUS to do whatever he can to protect abortion access. I was glad to see him take steps to do so last week, but there’s more to be done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

That's why at today’s hearing, they’re going to see exactly what their cruelty means for women seeking abortions. This isn’t just about whether you’re ready to raise a child. Pregnancy is a life-changing medical procedure with physical & mental tolls. For many women, it's deadly. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans have refused to listen to the majority of Americans who wanted Roe to stand, to keep their rights, and to preserve women’s ability to control their own bodies. Meanwhile, they’ve continued to spread disinformation about the reality we’re living in. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I've been warning for YEARS about Republicans’ attacks on reproductive rights putting lives at risk—& I'm far from the only one. For so long, women, providers, & patients nationwide made clear that the overturning of Roe would be devastating. But Republicans don’t care. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans’ response to this devastation is to work to be even crueler. They're talking about: ❌A federal abortion ban ❌Putting women and providers in jail ❌Banning travel for abortion — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans’ cruelty has already been devastating. States have banned abortions for any reason. Health care providers risk jail time for doing their jobs. Patients can’t get life-saving medications. Women live with deep uncertainty for their futures. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Three weeks ago, the Republican-stacked Supreme Court overturned #RoeVWade & dragged our country back 50 years. The consequences have been harsh & swift. Today I’m leading a @HELPCmteDems hearing to shed light on the health care crisis Republicans have caused. https://t.co/elyDws8kB5 — PolitiTweet.org

Passing my plan to address our child care crisis is critical for families and our economy. We can’t keep kicking the can down the road on getting working parents the support they need. https://t.co/DoxDTBdZ3I — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

.@SenCortezMasto, @gillibrandny & I introduced legislation to protect EVERY American’s right to travel across state lines & get the reproductive health care they need. We are not going to let extreme Republicans hold people captive in their states. Getting this passed is urgent. https://t.co/heHglEf3S1 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I was proud to vote YES to help confirm Steve Dettelbach as @ATFHQ Director. After a years-long vacancy, the agency will finally have a permanent director to help enforce existing gun laws and give law enforcement the tools they need to prevent and prosecute gun crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

How extreme have Republicans gotten on abortion? They want to throw women in jail for traveling across state lines to get an abortion. My bill with @SenCortezMasto would prevent states from implementing such radical laws—and makes sure there are consequences if they try. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m with @SenCortezMasto and @gillibrandny to call for the urgent passage of our bill to protect every American’s constitutional right to travel across state lines—including to get an abortion. Watch live: — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

People shouldn’t be thrown in jail for trying to get an abortion—let alone providing one or helping a friend get one—but that’s exactly the future MAGA Republicans want. We can’t stand by as they push to make abortion a crime. — PolitiTweet.org

This is amazing news! Soon, women may be able to get birth control without a prescription—but it has got to be affordable too. I’ll keep pushing to pass my bill to #FreeThePill and make any FDA-approved over-the-counter birth control free with insurance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

One of the most impactful things I can do as a Senator is get federal funding directly to local projects, governments, and organizations in Washington state. And in Southwest Washington, that funding is already making a huge difference. https://t.co/HD9q0VfmEx — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m so thankful for the work of abortion providers in WA state and across the country who are still providing essential health care during this challenging time. Your work and bravery in the midst of constant attacks is so important. Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I am not done fighting to protect your right to make your own health care decisions about abortion—far from it. We’ve got to use our voices, our votes, and every tool and every lever we have to defend abortion rights. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

No one should have to wake up not knowing if they can get the essential health care they need. Your ability to choose whether to get an abortion should be your RIGHT—without interference from extreme politicians. https://t.co/h3mEthboIQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The Supreme Court's extreme decision limiting @EPA’s ability to tackle climate change is yet another reason why we need to take bold action on climate NOW. We can’t wait any longer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Republicans overturning #RoeVWade has created a health care crisis. Idaho patients will be forced to come to WA to get abortions—putting them at risk & making it harder for everyone to get care. And Republicans are pushing a federal abortion ban that would ban it EVERYWHERE. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I visited @UWBothell today to discuss their Behavioral Health Initiative, which will go a long way towards helping educators get kids the care they need.   No matter where I go in WA, I hear about this crisis—and it's a big reason why I fought to secure funding for this program. https://t.co/6TGo9wxg5U — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

There’s simply no excuse for oil companies to be making record profits while WA state drivers pay more at the pump. It’s corporate greed & price gouging at its worst—plain & simple. I’m working to pass @SenDuckworth’s Gas Price Gouging Prevention Act & hold companies accountable. — PolitiTweet.org
