Access to safe, legal abortion in America took a devastating blow this week with POLITICO reporting on a leaked draft Supreme Court majority opinion that would strike down Roe v. Wade and open the door for 26 states to immediately move to ban the right to abortion. Republicans in Nevada’s First Congressional District are complicit in this all-out assault on women’s freedoms.
Nevadans need to know GOP candidates’ dangerous positions on women’s reproductive freedom and health care:
-
Mark Robertson praised Texas’ six-week abortion ban that put a bounty on anyone who helps a woman get an abortion.
-
Carolina Serrano called abortion “murder” and “genocide.”
-
Cresent Hardy cosponsored an extreme personhood bill that would ban abortion with no exceptions and some forms of birth control.
-
David Brog worked for an organization whose founder claimed public schools were giving out abortions and that Planned Parenthood was “literally destroying the future generations of the world.”
Make no mistake – access to abortion is on the line this November and hinges on control of Congress. Just hours before the draft Supreme Court opinion was leaked, the Washington Post reported that congressional Republicans are working on a “push for a strict nationwide ban on the procedure if Republicans retake power in Washington.”
DCCC spokesperson Johanna Warshaw:
“The stakes in this election could not be higher: electing Republicans in Nevada’s First District will put House Republicans one step closer to achieving their decades-long dream of ripping away women’s freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies.”
