As a second Trump administration approaches, we’re running out of time to confirm as many federal judges as possible to provide a check on his presidential power and curb his stated policy priorities.
There are 40 federal judicial vacancies and 16 nominations before the Senate right now—as our civil rights hang in the balance, take action now!
On October 6, 2023, the National Women’s Law Center submitted an amicus brief to the Fifth Circuit in Braidwood Management, Incorporated v. Xavier Becerra, et al. Our brief supports the Government in its defense of the Affordable Care Act’s requirement to provide preventive care without cost-sharing, which ensures that millions of women, particularly those who face multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, retain access to care. We urge the appeals court to affirm the district court’s decision to uphold Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA)-supported women’s preventive services recommendations, including women-specific cancer and diabetes screenings, breastfeeding services and supplies, and contraception.
