Leader Schumer Floor Remarks Denouncing Republicans’ War On Reproductive Rights Ahead Of Anniversary Of Dobbs Decision

Washington, D.C. - Today, Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) spoke on the Senate floor denouncing Republicans' extreme war on women's reproductive freedom ahead of the fourth anniversary of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization decision, which eliminated the constitutional right to an abortion. Below are Senator Schumer's remarks, which can also be viewed here:

Later today, I will join Senator Murray and other Senate Democrats for a spotlight forum on Republicans' extreme war on women's reproductive freedom ahead of the fourth anniversary of the Dobbs decision.

Donald Trump may want to brush his extreme effort to curtail women's reproductive rights under the rug, but we won't let him.

On the campaign trail in 2024, Trump said women "won't be thinking about abortion," he said if he got elected, but the truth is that they have to think about it more than ever before because of this awful decision.

Ever since the Dobbs decision four years ago, Republicans have been working around the clock to restrict access to abortion care.

Today, we're going to hear from people who have been forced to live with the consequences of the Republican radical assault on women's reproductive freedom, and we'll discuss how we're fighting back.

We're going to remind Donald Trump that women haven't stopped thinking about his efforts to take away their rights - they're mad as hell.
