Neal Statement on the Third Anniversary of the Dobbs Decision

Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement marking the third anniversary of the Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization: “Three years ago, Trump’s Supreme Court cruelly ripped away a fundamental constitutional right. Since then, 19 states have banned abortion and access to care gets more difficult by the day. People have died, and millions have been forced into dire circumstances as they attempt to get the care they need. “Health care decisions belong between patients and their doctors. We’ve given Republicans multiple chances to protect those rights—they’ve refused every time. Now, they’re entering a new, even crueler phase of their War on Women with Trump’s marquee legislation, further slashing care and throwing millions off their health insurance. This extremism is the greatest threat to the health of the American people. We won’t stop until Roe is restored and every Republican attack on health care is defeated.” ###
