Lori Chavez-DeRemer Votes to Restrict Abortion Rights

As women across the country endure the unimaginable, brutal consequences of Republican’s war on women, Lori Chavez-DeRemer and House Republicans are doubling down on their anti-choice agenda in the early days of serving in the majority.

Earlier this week, in one of her very first votes in Congress, Chavez-DeRemer voted against consideration of the Women’s Health Protection Act which would codify the reproductive freedoms Roe v. Wade guaranteed before the Supreme Court ripped them away.

On top of blocking abortion protections, today Chavez-DeRemer voted to pass anti-choice legislation that could imprison doctors and is “chock-full of misinformation and creates more barriers to care.”

Clearly, Chavez-DeRemer and House Republicans did not learn anything when voters sent a clear and resounding message that they support reproductive freedom – dealing the Republican party an embarrassing midterm performance.

DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre: 
“Lori Chavez-DeRemer’s despicable commitment to ripping away reproductive freedom is heard loud and clear. With every extreme vote against protecting and further restricting abortion rights, Chavez-DeRemer is quickly building the case against herself for 2024.”
