Dem Women’s Caucus Statement Marking Two Years Since SCOTUS Overturned Roe v. Wade

Washington, D.C. – Today, Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC) Chair Lois Frankel (FL-22) released the following statement as the country marked two years since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision was handed down by Donald Trump’s Supreme Court. The decision overturned Roe v. Wade and ripped reproductive rights away from women, robbing them of the freedom to make their own health care decisions

“Politicians should not be interfering with personal medical decisions between patients and doctors,” said DWC Chair Lois Frankel. “Two years ago, Donald Trump’s Supreme Court robbed women of their reproductive freedoms, leading to devastating abortion bans and restrictions across the country and sending our health care system into chaos. We must pass the Women’s Health Protection Act to enshrine into law protections for the right to provide and access abortion care nationwide, free from medically unnecessary restrictions and bans. The Democratic Women’s Caucus will keep fighting back against these draconian bans and for legislation that will give women their freedoms back.”
