Access to safe, legal abortion in America took a devastating blow last night with POLITICO reporting on a leaked draft Supreme Court majority opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade and open the door for 26 states to immediately move to ban the right to abortion. Republican Amanda Adkins is complicit in this all-out assault on women’s freedoms.
Just like her former boss Sam Brownback, Adkins opposes Roe v. Wade and, as chair of the Kansas Republican Party, pushed for a plan to make abortion illegal, even in cases of rape and incest. She also backed plans to defund Planned Parenthood, which provides affordable health care to tens of thousands of Kansans every year.
Make no mistake – access to abortion is on the line this November and hinges on control of Congress. Just hours before the draft Supreme Court opinion was leaked, the Washington Post reported that congressional Republicans are working on a “push for a strict nationwide ban on the procedure if Republicans retake power in Washington.”
DCCC spokesperson Johanna Warshaw:
“The stakes in this election could not be higher: electing Amanda Adkins will put House Republicans one step closer to achieving their decades-long dream of ripping away women’s freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies.”
