Michelle Steel and Young Kim Share Blame for the Overturn of Roe v. Wade

In the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning 50 years of precedent, Michelle Steel and Young Kim must defend their dangerous complicity in overturnig Roe and answer for their party’s plan for a nationwide abortion ban.

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

  • Michelle Steel joined 125 other House Republicans  in signing an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe

  • Steel is a co-sponsor of the Life at Conception Act, the federal personhood bill that would ban all abortions and certain types of birth control such as IUDs.

Make no mistake: Michelle Steel and Young Kim are on the wrong side of history. Polling conducted after the leak of the SCOTUS draft opinion overturning Roe shows: by a two-to-one margin, Americans oppose the overturn of Roe; 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.

Michelle Steel and Young Kim will be held accountable for their role in dismantling reproductive rights and their party’s contined plan to institute a nationwide abortion ban.

DCCC spokesperson Maddy Mundy:
“Michelle Steel and Young Kim bear responsibility for the devastating decision overturning Roe. Steel and Kim must explain their record of attacking women’s personal freedoms and answer whether they support their party leaders’ plan to impose a draconian nationwide abortion ban.”
