On the Anniversary of the Supreme Court Decision on Roe v. Wade, GOP Attacks Women Again
Washington, DC – On the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade, Republicans are again attacking women's access to healthcare.
Congressman Ruben Gallego released the following statement:
"Republicans have no shame. Since they couldn't get enough support for one anti-woman bill they rushed another deceptive and radical bill to the floor.
"Republicans claim to be the party of limited government but they insist that government should have a role in women's healthcare decisions, dictate women's choices and limit women's options.
"Once again Republicans are catering to the Tea Party's demands to go after women's healthcare. Instead of working to create jobs or fund DHS, Republicans are wasting time trying to pass a bill that the President already said he will veto - that would result in millions of women losing access to comprehensive health coverage, would place a higher financial burden on Americans, and place restrictions on how women with private insurance can spend their own private dollars in purchasing health insurance.
"The American people want Congress to work together to pass reforms that will make their lives better. This is nothing but another cynical attempt by the GOP to score cheap political points while wasting time we could be using to pass reforms to grow our middle class, make college more affordable, and provide more and better opportunities for the American people."
