Lauren Boebert Attacks Reproductive Freedom As She Leads GOP-Manufactured Shutdown

Last night, as she led the country towards a government shutdown over her extreme demands, Lauren Boebert also voted for legislation that would restrict access to safe, legal abortion medication mifepristone – one of the most common methods for an abortion.

Boebert has constantly tried to chip away at Coloradans’ reproductive freedom. She repeatedly supported a national ban on abortion with no exceptions and voted against legislation that would protect many common forms of contraception and birth control for Coloradans.

REMINDER: Recently, the chair of the GOP Conference reiterated the Republican plot to enact a nationwide abortion ban – asserting Republicans “will get [it] done.”

DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
“From spearheading a government shutdown to restricting abortion access for countless Colorado women, Lauren Boebert has proven once again she would rather play partisan political games than work for her constituents. Coloradans deserve a representative who puts them first.”
