Nevada State Democratic Party Women’s Caucus Chair Ashley Dodson released the following statement on the second anniversary of the leak of the Supreme Court’s decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which opened the floodgates to Trump’s extreme abortion bans across the country:
“Two years ago today, women across Nevada and the country learned that Donald Trump would succeed in his cruel plot to rip away their reproductive freedom – and the aftermath has been nothing short of horrific. Make no mistake: The extreme abortion bans we’re seeing take effect in state after state are a result of Trump’s plot to ban abortion nationwide. As Trump continues to boast about the role he played in overturning Roe v. Wade, there’s no doubt that he and his MAGA allies will rip away the rights of women across America if given the chance. Trump is out of touch and out of line, and in November, Nevadans will hold him accountable for his anti-freedom agenda.”
While Trump and MAGA Republicans are working to ban abortion access nationwide…
- In an interview published this week, Trump endorsed allowing states to punish and prosecute women who have an abortion and kept the door open to a nationwide abortion ban.
- Trump “proudly” killed Roe v. Wade and thinks that cruel abortion bans across the country are “working very brilliantly.”
- Trump continues to take credit for overturning Roe and boasts about it any chance he gets.
…President Biden and Vice President Harris are fighting to protect a woman’s right to choose by:
- Calling on Congress to codify the protections of Roe into law, restoring rights women relied on for nearly 50 years.
- Strengthening patient privacy and access to contraception.
- Supporting a woman’s right to travel for medical care.
- Promising to veto a national abortion ban and affirming that, if given a Democratic Congress, they will restore the protections of Roe in federal law once and for all.
