Malliotakis Shares Blame for the Overturning of Roe v. Wade

In the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning 50 years of precedent, Malliotakis must defend her unpopular and dangerous record of failing to protect Roe and block access to abortion.

  • Every single House Republican, including Malliotakis, voted against protecting access to an abortion and protecting a woman’s right to make her own decisions.

  • In the New York State Assembly, Malliotakis repeatedly voted against New York State’s Reproductive Health Act, which codified Roe v. Wade into New York State law.

  • Malliotakis stood by as 126 House Republicans signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe

  • Malliotakis lied to voters about her party’s life-threatening efforts to repeal abortion rights and endanger millions of New Yorkers

Make no mistake: Malliotakis 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.

Malliotakis will be held accountable for her role in this recent decision and her party’s plan to institute a nationwide abortion ban.

DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“Malliotakis bears responsibility for the devastating decision overturning Roe. Malliotakis must explain her record of attacking women’s personal freedoms and answer whether she supports her party leaders’ plan to threaten the livelihoods of countless women and families in Staten Island and Brooklyn.”
