I’m angry and heartbroken for folks across the country whose lives are going to be upended by the latest news out of the Supreme Court. Yesterday, a draft of an opinion was leaked that would overturn Roe v. Wade and empower states across the country to outlaw abortion. We want to be clear: abortion is still legal in America today.
And we also know that this ruling won’t prevent abortions: It will just prevent safe abortions. When more overly restrictive abortion laws go into effect, low income communities, and majority communities of color that are already at a disadvantage will suffer the most.
DAGA was the first political committee to only support pro-choice, pro-reproductive rights AGs, and we stand by that commitment today and every day. It’s never been more essential to have pro-abortion Dem AGs in office advocating for access to reproductive care. The power is now in the hands of states to protect women and access to safe abortions.
We’ve been on the frontlines of this fight for years:
California AG Rob Bonta led a coalition of 24 Dem AGs to fight Mississippi’s effort to overturn Roe v. Wade
AG Maura Healey of Massachusetts led a group of AGs fighting a similarly overly restrictive law in Florida
New York AG Letitia James and 15 other AGs fought to defend people’s health and reproductive freedom by testifying for the urging passage of the Women’s Health Protection Act
