Nearly 50 Years After Roe, Vulnerable Rep. Yvette Herrell Threatens Women’s Freedoms

As the nation celebrates 49 years since Roe v. Wade gave women the constitutional right to an abortion, extremist Republicans like Yvette Herrell are still trying to take our nation backwards and control women's decisions.

From voting against legislation to protect New Mexicans from attacks on their abortion rights, to joining extreme anti-choice Republicans on an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, Herrell has placed herself on the wrong side of history.

A strong majority of Americans support Roe, yet Herrell has refused to stand up to the nearly 600 dangerous Republican efforts introduced this past year to control women's bodies and take away their freedoms.

The truth is, if Herrell had her way, 36 million women across the country could have their constitutionally-secured rights stripped away from them.

"Make no mistake - Yvette Herrell is just another out-of-touch politician trying to dictate women's decisions. Rep. Herrell is a serious threat to the freedom women have had the last 49 years, and she won't hesitate to help Republicans ban abortion nationwide."
