"This draft decision is a sweeping & severe restriction of Americans' rights. With it, Trump, McConnell & Republicans assault privacy, precedent & the Constitution. By striking down Roe v. Wade, the Court would pave the way for Republicans to obliterate even more of our freedoms.

As drafted, Justice Alito's argument -- that women are not entitled to basic human rights today because they have been denied those rights for generations -- is alarming and extremist. It offers a dangerous blueprint for future assaults on some of our most cherished rights.

By eviscerating women's fundamental freedom to full reproductive care, radical Republican-appointed Justices are poised to inflict unthinkable suffering on tens of millions of families across our country, especially in communities of color and low-income communities.

Democrats believe that every woman everywhere has the fundamental human right to reproductive care, one that is not limited by background, income or zip code. Her health decisions, including whether or not to terminate a pregnancy, belong to her.

In brazenly ignoring fifty years of its own precedent, the United States Constitution and the will of the American people, this draft ruling would seriously erode the legitimacy of the Supreme Court in the eyes of the American people.

Upholding the rule of law & maintaining the faith of the people require that the Court allow Roe to remain the law of the land. If the Court chooses to terminate Roe, Democrats will not relent in fighting back against the dire threat posed to women's health, safety & well-being.

The Republican assault on Roe v. Wade is a manifestation of their decades-long disrespect of women. Democrats respect women & their freedom. The House has passed the codification of Roe v. Wade & Democrats will never relent until reproductive rights are enshrined into law."
