Today, the Supreme Court allowed Texas’ draconian six-week abortion ban to take effect. This bill aims to terrorize those who provide abortions, allowing random individuals to sue providers, clinicians, and anyone else who assists a woman in accessing an abortion.
This assault on patient rights and healthcare providers reaches far beyond the borders of Texas. With the Supreme Court set to consider a full reversal of Roe v. Wade this fall, this cruel law acts as a blueprint for Republican legislatures across the country to intimidate physicians, ban abortions, and strip access to health care for women.
Reproductive rights are now on the ballot — everywhere.
Steve Chabot’s record shows that he can’t be trusted to protect reproductive rights or our healthcare. In July, Chabot signed an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, despite the fact that the longstanding decision is supported by 77% of the American people.

“Steve Chabot can’t be trusted to protect reproductive rights in Ohio or across the country. He’s chosen to stand with extreme Republicans as they ban abortion for millions of women.”
