In support of NNEDV, the BWJP, and NCADV, NPEIV would like to share their statements on United States v. Rahimi and highlight the importance of victims’ rights and safe communities. NPEIV agrees that the 5th Circuit ruling was flawed and that the constitutionality of the federal law that restricts access to firearms to perpetrators of domestic violence subject to protective orders be upheld.
Read MoreThe National Partnership to End Interpersonal Violence (NPEIV) affirms that:
Every person has the right to their own bodily autonomy
Abortion is safe medical care that is a decision to be made between the patient and the physician, subject to the physician's clinical judgment, and the patient's informed consent.
Reproductive care, which includes abortion, is an important part of health care that should be easily accessible to ALL people.
Abortion access is an equity issue.
Elimination of interpersonal violence across the lifespan includes elimination of reproductive coercion at the individual, systemic, and societal levels.
None of us are free if we are not all free to make our own decisions about reproductive health care.
