100 Days Without Roe, John Duarte Wants to Make it Worse

It has been 100 days since the Republican-appointed Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending 50 years of reproductive freedom as we knew it. Since then, countless horror stories have surfaced: a 10-year-old rape victim forced to flee her state to get health care, women who experience miscarriages and people with auto-immune diseases unable to access vital medication, women told they’d have to give birth to a non-viable fetus, and more.

Despite the cruel stories and the widespread backlash at the ballot box, Republicans like John Duarte have doubled down on their war on women with continued promises to pass a nationwide abortion ban: 

• Duarte backed an abortion ban in a recent debate against Adam Gray.

• Duarte is supported by far-right, anti-abortion groups and figures like Californians for Life, which supports an abortion ban even in cases of rape or incest

• Duarte is endorsed by the same national Republicans threatening to impose a nationwide abortion ban if they take majorities in the House this election.

DCCC Spokesperson Marcus W. Robinson:
“Millions of women have gone 100 days without the freedom to make their own health care decisions because Republicans like John Duarte want to outlaw abortion. Californians will reject Duarte and his toxic agenda in November because they want their freedoms restored – not taken away further by extreme Republicans.”
