Nearly 50 Years After Roe, Vulnerable Rep. Andy Harris Threatens Women’s Freedoms

49 years after Roe v. Wade, Harris sides with extremist crusade to take away women’s freedoms

As the nation celebrates 49 years since Roe v. Wade gave women the constitutional right to an abortion, extremist Republicans like Andy Harris are still trying to take our nation backwards and control women’s decisions.

From voting against legislation to protect Marylanders from attacks on their abortion rights to joining extreme anti-choice Republicans on an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, Andy Harris has once again placed himself on the wrong side of history.

A strong majority of Americans support Roe, yet Andy Harris has refused to stand up to the nearly 600 dangerous Republican efforts introduced this past year to control women’s bodies and take away their freedoms.

The truth is, if Andy Harris had his way, 36 million women across the country could have their constitutionally-secured rights stripped away from them.

DCCC Spokesperson Abel Iraola
“Make no mistake — Andy Harris is just another out-of-touch politician trying to dictate women’s decisions. Rep. Harris is a serious threat to the freedom women have had the last 49 years, and he won’t hesitate to help Republicans ban abortion nationwide.”
