Today marks the 51st anniversary of Roe v Wade, and anti-abortion extremists like David Schweikert are thrilled that Roe was overturned. Schweikert praised the overturning of Roe v Wade, saying he was “pleased” to see the decision.
Schweikert has a track record of working to take away the rights of Arizona women. He:
Perennially co-sponsored the Life at Conception Act, which would ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions.
Voted to restrict access to abortion medication nationwide.
Just last week, David Schweikert voted for twobills that chip away at women’s constitutional freedoms and attempt to deny them access to essential reproductive health care.
New polling recently found that abortion rights have historic levels of support with voters, including 66% of voters who oppose ongoing Republican efforts to pass a national abortion ban.
REMINDER: The Chair of the NRCC encouraged his vulnerable members – like Schweikert – to brag about their extreme anti-abortion positions on the campaign trail: “Republicans don’t have a policy problem. We have a branding problem.”
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
“While women in Arizona were devastated over the Supreme Court taking away their constitutional right to make decisions about their own bodies, David Schweikert was running a victory lap. Schweikert is egregiously out-of-touch with Arizonans. This November, they’ll make sure he won’t have anything to celebrate.”
