In the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning 50 years of precedent, Rep. David Schweikert must defend his unpopular, draconian record of fighting to overturn Roe and block access to abortion, and answer for his party’s plan for a nationwide abortion ban.
-
Every single House Republican, including Schweikert, voted against protecting access to an abortion and protecting a woman’s right to make her own decisions.
-
Schweikert joined other House Republicans in signing an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe
-
Schweikert also supported Arizona’s new 15-week abortion ban, which has no exceptions for rape or incest
Make no mistake: Schweikert is on the wrong side of this issue. Polling conducted after the leak of the SCOTUS draft opinion overturning Roe shows: by a two-to-one margin, people oppose Roe being overturned; 80% of people believe abortion should be decided between a woman and her doctor; and nearly two-thirds of people oppose the GOP’s plan to institute a nationwide abortion ban.
Schweikert will be held accountable for his role in recent decision and his party’s plan to institute a nationwide abortion ban.
-
What does Schweikert say to the women living in fear now that Republicans have ripped away 50 years of constitutionally guaranteed freedom and protections?
-
Does Schweikert support a proposed nationwide ban?
-
Does Schweikert support exceptions in cases of rape, incest or harm to the woman?
DCCC spokesperson Monica Robinson:
“David Schweikert bears responsibility for the devastating decision overturning Roe. Schweikert will be held accountable for his record of attacking women’s personal freedoms and will answer for his support of his party leaders’ plan to impose a draconian nationwide abortion ban.”
