Comstock Must Immediately Clarify Stances on Roe v. Wade & Pre-Existing Conditions
In response to President Trump nominating Brett Kavanaugh to the United States Supreme Court, DCCC Spokesperson Jacob Peters issued the following statement calling on Rep. Barbara Comstock to state her position on whether Roe v. Wade should be overturned and the constitutionality of protections for people with pre-existing conditions like asthma, cancer and diabetes:
“A Supreme Court that ignores the will of the people and only represents the wealthy and largest corporations is a threat to all hardworking men, women and children. Rep. Comstock must immediately clarify her positons on overturning Roe v. Wade and a woman’s right to choose, and whether protections for people with pre-existing protections like cancer, asthma and diabetes are constitutional.
“Voters deserve to know where Comstock stands on these critical, life-altering issues that impact their health and livelihoods, and a failure to speak out is further evidence that Comstock stands with the Republican party over what is right for her constituents.”
