Vulnerable Republican Andrew Garbarino Urges Supreme Court to Ban Safe, Legal Abortion

Garbarino turns his back on New York women in amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn 50 years of legal precedent in Roe v. Wade

Today, vulnerable Republican Andrew Garbarino joined his most extreme colleagues in urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, a move that aims to end safe, legal abortion and throw reproductive rights in jeopardy for women across New York.

Despite the fact that 77% of Americans support Roe v. Wade and its protections, 184 House Republicans signed an amicus brief to urge the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade and end 50 years of legal precedent when it considers a restrictive 15-week ban out of Mississippi next term.

Garbarino’s call to end safe, legal abortion is the latest proof that he is too extreme and out-of-step — and women in New York deserve better than this shameful attack on their healthcare.

“Rather than standing up for Long Islanders, Andrew Garbarino is launching an all-out attack on reproductive health care,” said DCCC spokesperson Abel Iraola. “Most Americans overwhelmingly agree that it’s not up to politicians to make personal healthcare decisions for women. So it’s absolutely shameful that Andrew Garbarino is spending his time in Congress taking aim at women’s healthcare instead of focusing on helping working families in New York’s Second District recover from this pandemic.”
