DSCC Statement On Reported SCOTUS Draft Decision Overturning Roe

In response to a POLITICO report that the Supreme Court is planning to overturn Roe v. Wade, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Executive Director Christie Roberts issued the following statement:

“If this report is true, this Republican attack on abortion access, birth control and women’s health care has dramatically escalated the stakes of the 2022 election. At this critical moment, we must protect and expand Democrats’ Senate majority with the power to confirm or reject Supreme Court justices.”

This news follows reporting from the Washington Post earlier today that Senate Republicans “have started mobilizing around potential federal legislation to outlaw abortion after six weeks of pregnancy” and “will introduce the legislation in the Senate.”
