Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, with their dreadful, horrific Dobbs decision 4 years ago today, six far-right wing MAGA Justices broke nearly 50 years of precedent to rip the right to choose away from millions—millions—of American women.
right philosophy the same way: less freedom in your life; more government interference in your personal decisions. That is the MAGA way.
deeply out-of-touch Supreme Court decisions in American history. It is a disgrace that the Supreme Court did it. It is a disgrace on the Supreme Court itself.
reproductive rights, but he cannot hide from the pain he has inflicted on women across America. Mr. President, 20 States—20—have enacted total or near-total abortion bans, which means that nearly 40 percent of women of reproductive age live in a State with an abortion ban.
freedom is sickening. I have heard so many women share their stories of the horrors they have experienced in Trump's post-Roe America.
Republicans are letting women die by restricting necessary care. Some women have to travel hundreds of miles—even thousands—to get the treatment they need and deserve and are entitled to. Parents, patients, and doctors have been punished like violent criminals for lifesaving procedures that were legal just a few years ago and had been for decades before that.
- Parenthood like it is an enemy of the State. It is despicable.
see they wanted to overturn Roe. Every Republican Senator, who voted to confirm these radical Justices who stripped away these fundamental rights to choose that women have had for so long, will have to answer to the American people.
radical efforts to ban abortion under the rug. The American people know it, and we are going to keep showing the difference between the two parties on this issue when the American people are strongly on our side.
