Three Years Later: Lawler Still Stands With Anti-Choice Extremists, Not Women

Reminder: Mike Lawler supported a backdoor scheme to rip away reproductive health care from millions of New Yorkers last month

Three years after Mike Lawler applauded the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and take away a woman’s right to have an abortion, the phony moderate is still siding with anti-abortion extremists over New Yorkers.

In the three years since Lawler cheered for the fall of Roe, Americans across the country have watched Republicans strip their reproductive freedoms away piece by piece. Meanwhile, Lawler has ducked and dodged questions about his extreme anti-abortion agenda — because he knows where his real loyalty lies: with GOP extremists, not New York women.

Despite countless attempts to save face on national television and deceive New York voters, Mike Lawler’s record tells the true story:

• Lawler eagerly voted to elect a Speaker who wants to “get the number of abortions to zero.”
• Lawler voted to jail doctors and nurses who provide reproductive health care.
• Lawler supported defunding abortion care for U.S. servicemembers.
• Lawler voted for a backdoor effort to pressure states with established legal protections into gradually stripping away abortion rights.
• Lawler “believes that the right to abortion should be reserved to a tiny subset of American women.”
• Lawler worked to elect the person responsible for the ending of Roe v. Wade.

DCCC Spokesperson Riya Vashi:
“Mike Lawler may try to rewrite his toxic anti-abortion record, but we all remember how he celebrated when women across the country had their reproductive freedoms ripped away. New Yorkers know all too well that with Lawler in Washington, their fundamental rights are on the line, and they’ll hold him accountable at the ballot box.”
