Elizabeth Warren calls for federal protections for abortion rights
Warren is a true policy wonk and would be the one to protect the rights of women. Kudos to her!The Massachusetts Democrat sounded the alarm while pointing to recent legislation in a slew of states, including Alabama and Georgia, that would effectively block or severely restrict women from accessing abortion services. The bills clash explicitly with the Supreme Court's landmark ruling establishing federal guarantees to abortion rights and could pave the way for a new high court challenge.
"These extremist Republican lawmakers know what the law is -- but they don't care," Warren wrote. "They want to turn back the clock, outlaw abortion and deny women access to reproductive health care. And they are hoping the Supreme Court will back their radical play. I'll be blunt: It just might work."
Warren said Congress should respond by both guaranteeing abortion rights and expanding access to reproductive services, abortion and contraception.
In her plan, Warren said Congress should pass laws that provide statutory guarantees for rights established under Roe, invalidating laws like the one recently passed in Alabama, while also being durable enough to withstand a Supreme Court decision overturning it. Such statutory guarantees, she said, should prohibit states from interfering with both health care providers and patients seeking their care, including for abortions.
She also called further for federal guarantees to "preempt" other state efforts that limit access to reproductive health care without explicitly targeting Roe, and pointed to existing legislation called the Women's Health Protection Act.
