Murray, Schumer, Senate Democratic Women Hold Press Conference Ahead of Dobbs Anniversary, Announce Floor Action on Commonsense Bills to Protect Women's Fundamental Freedoms

Press Release

"Every day, women across our country are confronting a dystopian reality: one where Republican politicians have the final say in their health care decisions. Women are forced to stay pregnant against their will--even when their health and lives are at risk, doctors in some states are having to deny patients the lifesaving care they need or risk being sent to jail, and other providers--in states like mine--are being pushed to the breaking point trying to serve an influx of patients from out of state. The fallout has been devastating.

"Women are not going to settle for a country where men in state legislatures are taking away their fundamental freedom to decide what happens to their bodies, where they are treated not like adults capable of making their own health care choices--but like second-class citizens--and they are not going to settle for a country where their daughters and granddaughters have fewer rights than they did just a year ago. I have been fighting for abortion rights since I got here. So, I can tell you, this fight didn't start with Roe, and it did not end with Dobbs."
