Tayfun Selen & GOP Want to Ban Abortion Nationwide

Just months after Tayfun Selen voted to denounce codifying right to an abortion, draft SCOTUS opinion overturns Roe & Casey

Last night, Politico reported on an initial leaked Supreme Court opinion that stated, “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled” by the majority.

This came on the heels of a Washington Post report that Republicans plan on pushing a 6-week national ban on abortion and other states criminalizing abortions.

Tayfun Selen made clear he sided with radical Republicans who are banning abortion when he voted to denounce the Reproductive Freedom Act to codify a women’s right to reproductive choice in New Jersey. 

Reminder: A November Rutgers-Eagleton poll of New Jersey voters found nearly 70 percent of New Jersey voters supported the right to an abortion in most or all cases versus 8 percent who opposed abortion in all cases.

DCCC spokesperson James Singer:
“The anti-abortion dreams of Tayfun Selen and the radical right are now set to become an American nightmare. If elected to Congress, Selen would be a direct threat to women’s freedom and their constitutional right to make their own health care decisions.”
