STATEMENT: Sen. Schiff on Third Anniversary of Supreme Court’s Disastrous Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade
Washington, D.C.– Today, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) released the following statement on the third anniversary of theDobbsdecision that overturnedRoe v. Wade:
“Three years ago today, a runaway Supreme Court, with appointees hand-picked by President Donald Trump, made the dangerous decision to strip away the constitutional right to an abortion. Since then, Republicans across the country have doubled down on their attacks on reproductive freedom by implementing near-total bans on abortions and endangering the lives of millions of women by making it harder to receive life-saving care.
That’s why the work ahead of us has never been more important.
The freedom to receive reproductive health care must be restored as a constitutional right. Congress needs to act and pass theWomen’s Health Protection Actto codify Roe and protect the rights of all.”
