In response to the Supreme Court hearing oral arguments on Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban — a case that could overturn Roe v. Wade and open the door for up to 26 states to outright ban or severely restrict abortion overnight — Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokeswoman Jazmin Vargas released the following statement:
“Today’s oral arguments represent Republicans’ decades-long effort to overturn Roe v. Wade and strip away critical health care coverage from women and families. A woman’s right to make our own health care choices will be a defining issue in the 2022 midterms, and for voters it will reinforce the stakes of protecting and expanding our Democratic Senate Majority with the power to confirm or reject Supreme Court justices.”
