CORTEZ MASTO BLASTS FAR-RIGHT REPUBLICANS FOR BLOCKING HER BILL TO PROTECT WOMEN'S RIGHT TO TRAVEL FOR ABORTION

Press Release

Date: June 21, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Women Abortion

"We're talking about upholding a constitutional right to allow women to travel outside their home state. Now, why do some of my anti-choice colleagues want to restrict women from moving freely between states? The answer is simple. They don't trust women to have control over their own bodies. Well, I do. And I'm going to keep doing everything in my power to protect women, not just in Nevada, but in every state across the country."

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

"Constitutional rights don't enforce themselves, and my colleagues on the far right only cloak themselves in the Constitution when it suits them. And right now, it really doesn't suit them. That's why far-right Republicans and state legislatures across the country are working on and passing laws specifically focused on restricting a woman's right to travel for reproductive health care, something I noticed my colleague from Utah seemed to ignore -- that Tennessee, Texas, Missouri are some of those states."
