LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT MARKING TWO YEARS SINCE DOBBS V. JACKSON WOMEN’S HEALTH ORGANIZATION

Brooklyn, NY — Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries released the following statement:

Two years ago, the extreme right-wing Supreme Court majority issued one of the most egregious rulings in our nation’s history. The Dobbs decision undermined reproductive freedom for women all across America as part of the extreme MAGA Republican plan to criminalize reproductive health care, outlaw contraception and march us toward a nationwide abortion ban. 

The decision by the out of control Supreme Court majority to take away the long-held right to an abortion represents an assault on freedom, the Constitution and the values shared by a majority of Americans. House Democrats will continue to fight until reproductive freedom is the law of the land and the extreme MAGA Republican effort to impose a nationwide abortion ban is crushed.
