• When President Trump adopted his rule targeting the disruption of health insurance coverage for abortion, Ferguson filed a successful lawsuit in federal court and won. 
• In 2023, when a federal judge in Texas blocked access to abortion medication, Ferguson took action and led a multi-state lawsuit that safeguarded access for Washingtonians and millions of residents across the dozen states that joined the fight.  
• Ferguson successfully blocked President Trump’s Title X “Gag Rule” — a direct attack on Planned Parenthood that threatened to strip affordable birth control and cancer screenings away from low-income folks in 21 Washington counties and prohibited Title X providers from referring patients for abortion care, even when requested. Ferguson was out front to once again fight back.
• Ferguson was among the first attorneys general to challenge President Trump’s “contraception rule,” which aimed to let companies deny health coverage for contraception based on moral and religious objections.

• After the overturn of Roe v. Wade, Ferguson wrote and helped pass the landmark My Health, My Data Act to protect health data privacy connected to reproductive health care. 

• Ferguson led an 18-state letter urging Congress to safeguard reproductive rights, including abortion access.
• In 2013, Ferguson issued a legal opinion stating that public hospitals providing maternal services must also offer reproductive care under Washington's Reproductive Privacy Act. This decision protected access to reproductive healthcare, including contraception and abortion, even amid mergers between public districts and religious hospitals. Fergusonʻs opinion was a win for patients' rights to make their own reproductive decisions.

• Ferguson successfully championed groundbreaking legislation (My Health, My Data and Shield Law) that sought to protect access to gender-affirming care for Washingtonians and also for those seeking gender-affirming care that has been criminalized in their own states. 
• In 2021, Ferguson sent a letter to insurance companies, warning them to eliminate barriers to gender-affirming care for their patients. 
• In 2023, Ferguson co-led a coalition of 21 attorneys general seeking to block an Idaho law that banned transgender students from using school facilities aligned with their gender identity.

• In June 2013, Reichert voted for HR 1797, a 20-week abortion ban requiring pregnant people to prove rape before accessing an abortion and would have imposed criminal penalties on abortion providers. 
• In May 2015, Reichert voted for HR 36, which “would prevent women across the country from receiving an abortion at 20 weeks of pregnancy,” ignoring the many reasons why people need abortions later in pregnancy.
• In October 2017, Reichert voted for HR 36, which would amend the federal criminal code to make it a crime for any person to perform or attempt to perform an abortion if the probable post-fertilization age of the fetus is 20 weeks or more. 

• In 2016, Reichert voted against legislation that protected pregnant people from being fired for getting an abortion or using birth control.
• In 2005, Reichert voted to criminalize teens who are traveling across state lines to seek abortion care they could not get at home.

At a town hall hosted by an extremist anti-abortion group, Reichert openly expressed his goal to “unravel” key state laws and help elect other politicians to push his agenda. At the same event, he spouted anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric about marriage and trans athletes.

He tries to hide his true agenda, but Reichert’s record goes against Washington values: Reichert consistently voted to defund Planned Parenthood and strip affordable birth control and cancer screenings away from reproductive health care from low-income folks in 21 Washington counties.

The actions of politicians in neighboring states show us that the threats to our rights are real. We must do everything in our power to ensure that Washington remains a safe haven, not only for our residents but also for those from other states who rely on us.
