Important Takeaways:
- House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., issued a joint statement saying “the Supreme Court is poised to inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years – not just on women but on all Americans,” if the report is acurate.
- Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H.:
- “The 50-year precedent set by Roe v. Wade is on the verge of being overturned. If reports are true, SCOTUS’ opinion would have catastrophic consequences for millions of Americans. We will not be pulled backward – we must codify Roe now.”
- Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo.:
- “I will say, if this is the Court’s opinion, it’s a heck of an opinion. Voluminously researched, tightly argued, and morally powerful.”
