Over the past few years, we’ve seen Republicans become more and more aggressive in their quest to restrict women’s rights by eliminating the right to abortion in this country. Now that they’ve secured a conservative supermajority on the Supreme Court, they know they can go even further.
Texas Republicans virtually eliminated access to abortion, and more states could follow. Without any public discussion, the Supreme Court used its shadow docket to allow this extreme Texas Republican law to go into effect. This is why I’m fighting so hard to reform our courts to avoid more rulings like this in the future. Now more than ever, we need Congress to stand up and protect reproductive rights before more states ban access to a basic health care procedure.
