Last night, Politico reported on an initial leaked Supreme Court opinion that stated, “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled” by the majority.
This came on the heels of a Washington Post report that Republicans plan on pushing a 6-week national ban on abortion and other states criminalizing abortions.
The CO-07 and CO-08 Republican primary fields are running to create an America without legal abortion:
-
CO-07’s Tim Reichert has one of the most extreme stances on abortion and reproductive health care in the nation. Reichert claims abortion is a “human sacrifice at the altar of Baal.” He repeatedly argues in published articles and presentations that contraception irrevocably harms women by destroying the institution of marriage and financial stability.
-
CO-07’s Eric Aadland supports the draconian Texas abortion ban.
-
CO-07’s Laurel Imer stated women and their doctors should be punished if they pursue abortions in states that have banned them.
-
CO-08’s Lori Saine supports personhood measures, despite Coloradans rejecting them three times at the ballot box.
-
CO-08’s Jan Kulmann promised she would fight to dismantle abortion access in Congress.
-
CO-08’s Barbara Kirkmeyer is on record stating abortion should never be allowed, even in extenuating circumstances like rape or incest.
Reminder: Recent national polls find around 70% of Americans oppose overturning Roe.
DCCC Spokesperson Maddy Mundy
“The anti-abortion dreams of the Republican primary fields in Colorado’s most competitive House districts are now set to become an American nightmare. If elected to Congress, any of these Republican candidates would be a direct threat to women’s freedom and their constitutional right to make their own health care decisions.”
