I am deeply troubled by the Texas law effectively banning a woman’s right to an abortion. This law is unconstitutional. Roe v. Wade is the law of the land. I am disturbed that the Texas ban does not account even for violence against women – there is no exception for rape or incest. And it is also disturbing that this law includes a mechanism for private citizens to bring a lawsuit against anyone who performs an abortion and potentially recover $10,000 plus their legal fees.
We intend to do whatever we can to protect a woman’s right to her reproductive health.

Vermont’s response to Irene stands as an example of the resilience of the people of this State. And looking back, we should also see it as a warning about the impacts of the climate crisis. Our planet is on fire and we must continue to work toward slashing greenhouse gases and building sustainable, resilient communities. We have no Planet B. #VermontStrong
