Today, the Supreme Court allowed Texas’ draconian six-week abortion ban to take effect. This bill also 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 health care 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.
Rep. Yvette Herrell’s anti-health care record shows she can’t be trusted to protect reproductive rights.

“Rep. Yvette Herrell can’t be trusted to protect reproductive rights across the country and in New Mexico. She’s standing with extreme Republicans as they ban abortion for millions of women.”
