On the second anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization decision, DNC Chair Jaime Harrison and Vice Chair Lottie Shackelford released the following statement:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTwo years ago today, with their decision in Dobbs v. Jackson<\/em>, Trump\u2019s handpicked, ultra-conservative Supreme Court justices overturned nearly 50 years of precedent and stripped millions of women of their reproductive freedoms. Since then, 21 states have banned abortion, many with no exception for rape or incest, and over one in three women of reproductive age now live under a ban in effect. Across the country, women have lost access to life-saving reproductive health care and now have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers. The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade <\/em>set the clock back on decades of progress and ripped away women’s control over their own health, bodies, and futures.    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMake no mistake: This is Donald Trump\u2019s fault, and when it comes to our reproductive freedoms, this is Donald Trump\u2019s America. When women are forced to travel out-of-state for basic health care, carry a life-threatening pregnancy to term, and consult judges to make their own personal reproductive decisions, Donald Trump is to blame. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrump campaigned on overturning Roe v. Wade, <\/em>and he kept that promise. He celebrated cruel abortion bans across the country as \u2018working very brilliantly\u2019 and is \u2018proud\u2019 and \u2018honored\u2019 to have created a dangerous and horrifying reality for women. And in the face of overwhelming public support for access to safe, legal abortions, if given the chance, Trump and extreme Republicans will enact a national abortion ban, criminalize abortion, and threaten access to contraception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUnder President Biden\u2019s leadership, Democrats have defended reproductive freedom in the courtroom, protected access to abortion for our military families, and strengthened access to contraception. As extreme Republicans continue to come for our rights and freedoms, we are shoring up our defenses on the frontlines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis November, we are confident that voters will reject Trump and MAGA Republicans\u2019 extreme anti-choice, anti-women agenda for a third time, and reelect President Biden and Vice President Harris, and send them a Congress that will codify the protections of Roe<\/em> into federal law.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
