51 years ago today, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of a woman’s constitutional right to make decisions about her own body in Roe v. Wade. This landmark ruling gave women the freedom to make reproductive decisions for themselves without the interference of male politicians.
Today, we should be celebrating this historic win for women, but we can’t. Instead, in places like Washington state, we’re having to fight to maintain the right of women to make their own health care choices, and again, women are living in fear of losing additional rights after the Supreme Court overturned Roe just 18 months ago. Thanks to extremist politicians, justices, and conservative groups, the young women of today are allowed less personal freedoms than their mothers and grandmothers were.
Our daughters deserve better. We can’t afford to elect officials in 2024 who don’t support the expansion of reproductive rights. This is a pivotal moment. We must continue to fight for reproductive health care and abortion rights nationwide, even in states like Washington, where they are currently protected. If we don’t, extremists will win in 2024 and continue to take us backward.
As Washington’s next Attorney General, I will fight to protect a woman’s right to an abortion — and do everything I can to protect all forms of reproductive health care despite constant attacks from right-wing extremists.
Thank you,
