Congresswoman Valerie Foushee, representing North Carolina's 4th district, has recently expressed her views on several pressing issues through a series of tweets. These statements reflect her stance on reproductive rights and law enforcement policies.

On January 22, 2025, Congresswoman Foushee addressed the impact of overturning Roe v. Wade. She stated that this decision "left millions without access to fundamental health care." Emphasizing the importance of individual autonomy, she declared her commitment as a member of the Reproductive Freedom Caucus to "restore, expand, and protect reproductive freedom for all." The original tweet can be found here.

Later that day, Foushee criticized Republican claims regarding law and order in light of former President Trump's pardons related to the January 6th insurrection. She remarked that Republicans cannot claim to be the “party of law and order” while supporting such actions. According to her statement: "Trump’s decision to pardon over 1,500 criminals involved with the insurrection makes our country less safe." The original tweet is available here.

On January 23, 2025, Congresswoman Foushee voiced opposition against a Republican bill known as the Repro Health Care Surveillance Act. She asserted that this legislation would criminalize providers and threaten access to life-saving care. As a member of both the Democratic Women’s Caucus and Reproductive Freedom Caucus, she affirmed her intention to vote against it because it restricts patient autonomy in healthcare decisions.
