Salazar Shares Blame for the Overturning of Roe v. Wade

In the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning 50 years if precedent, Maria Elvira Salazar must defend her unpopular and dangerous record of failing to protect Roe and block access to abortion.

  • Every single House Republican, including Salazar, voted against protecting access to an abortion and protecting a woman’s right to make her own decisions.

  • Salazar stood by as 126 House Republicans signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe

  • Salazar also stood by as the Florida House passed a draconian bill banning abortions after 15 weeks, while also voting down exceptions for extreme cases like rape and incest

Make no mistake: Salazar is on the wrong side of this issue. Polling conducted after the leak of the SCOTUS draft opinion overturning Roe shows: by a two-to-one margin, people oppose Roe being overturned; 80% of people believe abortion should be decided between a woman and her doctor; and nearly two-thirds of people oppose the GOP’s plan to institute a nationwide abortion ban.

Salazar will be held accountable for her role in this recent decision and her party’s plan to institute a nationwide abortion ban.

DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre:
“Salazar bears responsibility for the devastating decision overturning Roe. Salazar must explain her record of attacking women’s personal freedoms and answer whether she supports her party leaders’ plan to threaten the livelihoods of countless women and families in South Florida.”
