"Symbolic Statement: Democratic Congresswomen Don White at State of the Union"

Democratic congresswomen wore white to President Biden’s State of the Union address to advocate for women’s rights, particularly regarding access to abortions and in vitro fertilization. The display was organized by the Democratic Women’s Caucus and the Pro-Choice Caucus in response to recent legislative actions restricting abortion and IVF rights in some states. The symbolic gesture aimed to highlight the ongoing fight for reproductive rights and gender equality, with lawmakers and a guest symbolizing the impact of these issues sharing their stories ahead of the address.
