Proud to stand with @DemWomenCaucus in the fight to ensure reproductive freedom for every woman in America.

The right to control our own healthcare and reproductive decisions is a fundamental right. Won't stop fighting until every woman has power over their own bodies. pic.twitter.com/k7arTXnGCZ

While some House Democratic women wore white in solidarity for women's rights, others wore royal blue, yellow ribbons and dog tags to show support for Ukraine and American hostages still being held captive by Hamas.

Family members of several hostages are expected to be in attendance to Biden's SOTU address, as well as individuals with personal accounts with abortion and IVF.
