Marking One Year Without Roe, DCCC Launches Campaign to Hold Scott Baugh Accountable for Anti-Abortion Extremism

One year later, vulnerable House Republicans continue their push for a national abortion ban

One year after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, 2022 Republican nominee Scott Baugh has continued to advocate for an assault on reproductive freedoms, despite an overwhelming 80% of Americans who oppose a national abortion ban.

To highlight just how out of step Baugh is with the voters he seeks to represent, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee this week launched a new microsite, expanding upon an investment from last year that outlines Baugh’s dangerous attacks on access to reproductive health care:

The DCCC is making the stakes of this election crystal clear in California. With this campaign and others throughout the cycle, the DCCC will continue to highlight the extreme anti-abortion positions that Baugh has staked out.  

DCCC spokesperson Viet Shelton:
“Scott Baugh will stop at nothing to ban abortion nationwide. Baugh cannot be trusted to defend California womens’ fundamental rights and freedoms and, as a result, will once again fail to get elected in 2024.”

Earlier this week, the DCCC released a memo detailing why abortion remains a key electoral issue for 2024, which can be found HERE
