Speaker Nancy Pelosi has invited Dr. Leana Wen to attend President Trump’s State of the Union address this evening as her guest. Tonight, we expect President Trump to addressabortion and reproductive rights – no doubt doubling down on the attacks we’ve seen over the last two years. Dr. Wen’s attendance is significant at a time when women’s reproductive rights are under constant threat, and is a symbolic reminder that majority of Americanssupport access to safe and legal abortion.

Statement from Dr. Leana Wen, President, Planned Parenthood Federation of America:

As an immigrant, a mother, a doctor, and the president of Planned Parenthood, I am honored to attend the State of the Union as the guest of Speaker Pelosi — who throughout her illustrious career has been a staunch champion for women’s rights, immigrant rights, voting rights, and universal access to health care.

“Last November, American voters — particularly women and women of color — sent a clear message:  we want our elected representatives to protect and expand access to reproductive health care, including the right to safe, legal abortion. Planned Parenthood  is proud to have Speaker Pelosi’s leadership of a pro-reproductive health House of Representatives. And we look forward to working with her to advance a pro-women, pro-family, and pro-economy agenda that affirms health care as a fundamental human right, and women’s rights—and all people’s rights—as human rights
