Political Quotes

“No one should need permission from a judge or a Governor to make a personal choice for their family and for their health. This week, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that 31-year-old mother of two, Kate Cox, was not entitled to a medically necessary abortion despite her doctor's concerns for her health. She had to make the decision to leave her State to access the care she needed and deserved, a choice that is not available to everyone. Ms. Cox is not the first woman to be denied lifesaving care, and she will certainly not be the last. Women across this country in States like Texas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Idaho, and others have been stripped of their most basic rights. It is disturbing. It is dangerous. We know that these extreme laws are going to cost lives, and they disproportionately impact women of color and low-income women. Republicans are literally denying women the lifesaving care they need. The Dobbs decision did exactly what it was intended to do: to strip women of their bodily autonomy. It is inhumane, it is cruel, and it is clearly against the will of the American people. We cannot let them win. ____________________”
