ODP Statement On SCOTUS Hearing Dangerous Mississippi Abortion Ban
December 1, 2021
Columbus, OH — Today, Ohio Democratic Party Chair Elizabeth Walters released the following statement as the Supreme Court begins oral arguments on the dangerous Mississippi 15-week abortion ban that effectively renders Roe v. Wade meaningless:
“As the Supreme Court begins to hear arguments on Mississippi’s dangerous abortion ban, it puts a spotlight on Ohio Republicans’ relentless efforts to strip healthcare away and put the reproductive rights of thousands of Ohioans at risk. Ohio Republican politicians at every level are trying to ban abortion and insert themselves in a decision that should be between Ohioans and their doctors. In 2022, Ohioans will hold Republicans accountable as they continue to relentlessly attack Ohioans’ rights and put their health and safety at risk.”
