SCOTUS Oral Arguments in Case Challenging Mifepristone Access Spotlight Republicans’ Anti-Abortion Agenda
As the U.S. Supreme Court hears oral arguments that could “pave the way toward a national abortion ban” by severely restricting access to the medication mifepristone, Juan Ciscomani and House Republicans have been simultaneously mounting a multiple front attack on reproductive freedoms in America.
Last year, Juan Ciscomani voted for fervently anti-abortion legislation that would prevent women from receiving mifepristone through the mail or at pharmacies – the exact same issue before the Supreme Court now.
Ciscomani’s crusade against access to safe medication is only one of many far-right, extreme measures he and the House GOP have been pushing for to achieve their eventual goal of a nationwide abortion ban.
Polling shows that more than 60% of Americans favor protecting access to mifepristone as a prescription drug, while over half of Americans support a woman’s right to obtain an abortion.
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“Let’s be clear: Juan Ciscomani, House Republicans, and the anti-abortion groups in front of the Supreme Court are working from the exact same playbook to criminalize abortion and restrict women’s reproductive freedoms. Voters will hold Ciscomani accountable for his dangerous positions and vote him out this November.”
