Reproductive Freedom
Reproductive rights are human rights. Congressman Goldman will always fight to restore abortion rights through legislation such as the Women’s Health Protection Act. As reproductive freedoms remain under attack across the country, Goldman is fighting to expand access to abortion care, reproductive health care, contraceptives, and other family planning services for all. He is also committed to combatting anti-abortion misinformation, and he introduced the Abortion Care Awareness Act to help the Department of Health and Human Services do so.
Congressman Goldman has introduced:
Abortion Care Awareness Act to increase access to medically accurate information about abortion, specifically medication abortion. This legislation would ensure people have access to accurate information about where and how to obtain abortion services across the country, how to avoid anti-abortion centers intended to deceive patients, and how to identify misinformation about abortion care.
Congressman Goldman is a member of the Pro-Choice Caucus.

Washington, DC – Congressman Dan Goldman (NY-10) and Congresswoman Judy Chu (CA-28) today led 54 members of Congress in pressing Walmart, Safeway, Kroger, Costco, and Healthmart to undergo the certification process to dispense the medication abortion drug, Mifepristone. In January of last year, the FDA created a pathway for patients with certified prescriptions to obtain mifepristone through a certified retail pharmacy. After 18 months, these pharmacies have refused to say whether or not they have begun the process to obtain certification to dispense mifepristone in states where it remains legal and have not indicated that they plan to seek certification to dispense the drug. Their refusal to commit to certification comes despite Congressmembers Goldman and Chu making similar calls in June of last year, and the Supreme Court’s recent case upholding the legal status of the medication abortion drug.
