Access to safe, legal abortion in America took a devastating blow last night 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. Republican Ryan Zinke is complicit in this all-out assault on women’s freedoms.
Montanans need to know Zinke’s dangerous record on women’s reproductive freedom and health care. He:
-
Repeatedly voted to make it harder for women to seek safe, legal abortions — interjecting politics into a decision that 75% of Americans believe should be left to a woman and her doctor.
-
Accepted the endorsement of extremist anti-choice groups National Right-to-Life Association and Montana Right-to-Life.
-
Voted to defund Planned Parenthood, making it harder for Montana women to access basic health care services like birth control, cancer screenings, and preventative care.
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 Ryan Zinke 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.”
