This morning, former President Trump once again bragged about overturning Roe v. Wade, which paved the way for states to implement draconian abortion bans and IVF restrictions. Since the Court’s decision in Dobbs, New York Republican and MAGA extremist Brandon Williams has joined his pick for president, Trump, and his extreme colleagues to restrict abortion care nationwide.
For example, Williams has:
Supported the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which led to the decision we’re seeing in Alabama over IVF.
Joined a committee that applauded efforts to ban abortion nationwide with no exceptions for rape, incest, or to save a woman’s life.
Voted to restrict the sale of mifepristone nationwide.
Passed two anti-abortion bills that spread misinformation and anti-choice rhetoric, doing nothing to help women and families.
And of course, Williams supported extremist Speaker Mike Johnson – who has co-sponsored a national abortion ban with no exceptions for rape, incest, or to save a woman’s life that would also prohibit IVF and common forms of birth control, and has pushed for 10 years of hard labor from doctors for providing abortion care.
Trump’s mission to overturn Roe v. Wade set the groundwork for states to implement radical abortion bans. As a result, abortion will remain on the ballot in states that encompass eighteen competitive swing districts, including NY-22. Every time abortion has been on the ballot since the fall of Roe, extreme Republicans have lost.
DCCC Spokesperson Ellie Dougherty:
“Central New Yorkers and the Mohawk Valley will not forget that, alongside Donald Trump, Brandon Williams and extreme House Republicans are championing nationwide restrictions on women’s fundamental rights and freedoms.”
