Washington, D.C. – Today, Democratic Women’s Caucus (DWC) Co-Chairs Congresswomen Jackie Speier (CA-14), Lois Frankel (FL-21), Brenda Lawrence (MI-14), Vice Chairs Congresswomen Veronica Escobar (TX-16), Sylvia Garcia (TX-29), Freshman Representative Congresswoman Sara Jacobs (CA-53), and Whip Congresswoman Nikema Williams (GA-05) issued the following statement on the proposed national abortion ban introduced by Senator Lindsay Graham (R-SC), which would strip away women’s rights in all 50 states.
 
“Today brings yet further proof of MAGA Republicans’ commitment to enacting a nationwide abortion ban,” said the Members. “This summer, we witnessed in horror as Republican legislatures across the country criminalized abortion care, putting women’s health at risk and taking away the fundamental freedom to make decisions about their lives and families. MAGA Republicans have made their position clear, and we will never stop fighting to ensure women can make the decisions that are right for them and to access the care they need.”
