New Democrat Coalition Chair Statement on Draft Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

Today, New Democrat Coalition (NDC) Chair Suzan DelBene (D-WA-01) released the below statement following reporting of a draft Supreme Court decision overturning the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, which if true, would end half a century of federal constitutional protection for a woman’s freedom to choose. 

“New Dems remain more committed than ever to protecting the freedom of every woman to make decisions about her own body and her own future. If this draft decision were to be released by the Court, American women everywhere would lose this critical constitutional right. 

“The vast majority of Americans believe politics has no place in the doctor’s office and support a woman’s right to safe reproductive care. We will keep working tirelessly to enshrine this essential freedom into federal law. If we don’t act quickly, there could be dark consequences for women today and for generations to come. The Senate must send the House-passed Women’s Health Protection Act to the President’s desk now."
