Murphy Votes To Block Republican Bill To Criminalize Doctors Providing Abortion Care

WASHINGTON-U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Wednesday released the following statement after voting to block Republican legislation to politicize abortion care and criminalize doctors:

"Putting politicians in charge of women's health care decisions and threatening doctors with criminal penalties is a terrible solution to a problem that doesn't exist. All this bill would do is put the lives of women at risk and make it harder for doctors to do their jobs. Republicans won't stop until they pass a nationwide abortion ban, and I will keep fighting to make sure they never succeed."
