For many people, these restrictions have meant the right to abortion is only a right on paper, not in practice. This is particularly true for communities of color & people with low incomes. We need a strong federal response to stop these attacks on the state level. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

In 2021 alone, states have enacted 105 abortion restrictions. That includes outrageous laws meant to intimidate those seeking an abortion, like requiring providers to read medically inaccurate scripts or forcing patients to undergo unnecessary & invasive treatments. — PolitiTweet.org

#RoeVWade is crucial because it affirmed a constitutionally-protected right to abortion. But for years, Republicans have passed laws & fought lawsuits trying to undermine that right, severely limit access to abortions, or outright ban them—with the end goal being to overturn Roe — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

THREAD: Nationwide, the right to abortion is under attack by extreme Republicans hoping to overturn #RoeVWade. And this SCOTUS term, they have a real shot at doing so. That’s why we urgently need to pass the Women's Health Protection Act (#WHPA). — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

For too long, we’ve told parents who couldn’t afford child care “You’re on your own—figure it out” With the #BuildBackBetter framework, we are finally—as a country—instead saying “This is our problem, not just yours, and we’re in this together.” — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I joined @ABCNewsLive to talk about the #BuildBackBetter framework announced today. Watch below. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BuildBackBetter framework will help tackle the root causes of Washington state's housing crisis by boosting our stock of public housing, investing in under-resourced neighborhoods, and incentivizing changes to zoning laws—all while providing immediate rental assistance. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, our public health system was underfunded, our nation was unprepared, and our families paid the price. The #BuildBackBetter framework will rebuild our public health system to help make sure we never find ourselves in this position again. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

And the work continues on paid leave, lowering prescription drug costs, and creating a fair pathway to citizenship. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BuildBackBetter budget framework sets us on a course to deliver a once-in-a-generation investment in Washington state's families, workers, and economy. Our message to working families is clear: you’re not on your own, we’re in this together & we're going to get this passed. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Washington state is on the frontlines of the climate crisis, and the clock is ticking to take action. The #BuildBackBetter budget framework includes the largest investment in climate action in American history, and I'll keep working to build on this important progress. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BuildBackBetter framework will dramatically lower families’ child care costs, make child care more available, and raise wages for child care workers. Our child care crisis is one of the reasons I ran for office in the first place. Let’s get this done. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Today is a great day to get your COVID-19 booster shot if you’re eligible! https://t.co/Y5FyTLpzDK — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Texas' abortion ban, SB8, is a direct attack on 50 years of precedent and on #RoeVWade, and it’s devastating for people in Texas who have been effectively barred from exercising their right to abortion. This is code red. We must keep fighting to protect #reprorights. https://t.co/Pu8mcesYei — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

This funding will make a big difference in supporting survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault, as well as their family members. It’s just so important. #DVAM https://t.co/594Gz0SB13 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

One of the things we’ve seen over and over again since the beginning of the pandemic is that it made the challenges workers and families were already facing even worse. The #BuildBackBetter plan will help our country come back stronger and fairer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

I’m glad to see federal relief going to WA state’s hospitals to help address shortages & relieve the work load of the health care heroes that have been working throughout this pandemic. https://t.co/2ah7yJWYK9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The #BuildBackBetter bill will do a lot of good for workers, families, our economy, and our country’s future. @SenateDemocrats will keep working around the clock to get this done. https://t.co/pQSqBWWwul — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Like I said on @TheDailyShow, the child care proposal in #BuildBackBetter supports both child care providers who desperately need help, and working parents who need quality, affordable child care to get back to work. https://t.co/lG8nAiytA9 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Happy birthday, @HillaryClinton! I’m proud to call you both a friend and former colleague—and a trailblazer for women everywhere. https://t.co/e6faOvxNVe — PolitiTweet.org

RT if you agree we should make Daylight Saving Time permanent. https://t.co/GWFN6fP8K8 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We have to tackle the climate crisis head-on. That means lowering carbon emissions, transitioning to clean energy, and electrifying our nation’s vehicles—including school buses. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

One way or another, the Senate must pass voting rights protections. This is about ensuring our democracy stays a democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Working families in Washington state and across the country are counting on us to pass the #BuildBackBetter budget so we can truly come back from this pandemic stronger and fairer. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

We are on the cusp of a once-in-a-generation investment in kids and families. Let’s get the #BuildBackBetter bill across the finish line and to @POTUS’s desk. https://t.co/K48oO4X2nQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Getting everyone vaccinated is the key to ending this pandemic. To get through this we need to continue doing everything possible to slow the spread of COVID-19, including getting your vaccine and your booster shot if you’re eligible, wearing a mask, and social distancing. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Texans seeking an abortion shouldn’t have to travel for hours to get constitutionally protected health care—if they can access abortion at all. The Texas anti-abortion law is wrong and harmful—and we need to fight back. https://t.co/JYBiiwBzx2 — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

The last thing our servicemembers and their families should have to worry about is how they’ll make ends meet once they finish their service. That’s why I've introduced legislation to help make sure military families can plan for their financial futures. https://t.co/678QyoBmgQ — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Thanks to safe & effective vaccines, we are closing in on ending Polio across the world. As we work to vaccinate people against COVID-19, the progress to #EndPolio should remind us how big of an impact we can have when we all get vaccinated and fight diseases like this together. — PolitiTweet.org

Senator Patty Murray @PattyMurray

Even before the pandemic, I heard from parents across Washington state about how hard—if not impossible—it is to find quality, affordable child care. That’s got to change. https://t.co/t5msjeeCuv — PolitiTweet.org
