Derrick Van Orden Marches Toward Nationwide Abortion Ban Before 51st Anniversary of Roe v. Wade

Today, Derrick Van Orden and House Republicans passed two bills that chip away at women’s constitutional freedoms and attempt to deny them access to essential reproductive health care.

These measures would use federal funds to spread misinformation and prevent vulnerable communities from seeking essential health care. The first of these was even endorsed by the extreme, anti-choice National Right to Life Committee, an organization that advocated for a national abortion ban.

Van Orden has made his anti-abortion agenda clear. He’s said he’s “100% pro-life” and even compared abortion to “genocide.”

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“Another day, another anti-abortion vote by Derrick Van Orden. Time and time again, he pushes efforts to ban abortion nationwide no matter how unpopular or dangerous these relentless attacks are.”
