Senator Murray Responds to Fifth Circuit Allowing Texas to Ban Emergency Abortion Care Despite Federal Guidance

Statement

"This is a horrifying and astonishingly dangerous decision from a court that has shown repeatedly they have absolutely no regard for women's lives or understanding of the realities of pregnancy. We're seeing far-right judges working to deny women emergency abortion care even when their lives are in danger.

Every American should be outraged at the never-ending crusade by Republicans to force women to stay pregnant no matter what--the bottom line is that we need a pro-choice majority in Congress that will restore Roe and every woman's right to abortion and stop politicians from interfering in private health care decisions that should be made by women and their doctors."
