And 19 other States across America now have near-total bans or severe restrictions on abortions, beyond the standards set by Roe. Let's not forget how we got here, because the extreme abortion bans in Florida and Arizona didn't happen in a vacuum. They are the result of MAGA Republicans' decades-long campaign to annihilate Roe and plunge our country into chaos. Remember, Donald Trump boasted he was ``proudly the person responsible''--those are his words--for the disastrous decision to end Roe. The extreme abortion bans are also a direct consequence of the Senate Republican agenda to install rightwing, anti-abortion judges at every level of the Federal court system, including the hard-right Supreme Court Justices who voted to end Roe. Remember, most of the same Republicans are on record supporting a national abortion ban. The bottom line is that the extreme abortion bans are a direct consequence of Republicans getting into power.…”
