Swalwell has made various statements on reproductive rights. On June 5, 2019, he addressed the Hyde Amendment, which restricts the use of federal funds to pay for abortion, tweeting:
“We can’t live in the past when it comes to women’s health. The next president must appoint judges who protect roe BUT also MUST fight to Repeal Hyde.”
“This fight involves everyone. It’s time for men to step up and speak out against these atrocious attacks on safe, legal abortions. Reproductive freedom benefits us all.”
