Will Vulnerable Republican Nicole Malliotakis Side with Radical TX Abortion Ban, Vote Against Protecting Reproductive Healthcare?

Silence speaks volumes, and on protecting reproductive freedom and the constitutional right to an abortion, it appears Nicole Malliotakis has lost her tongue.

As the House gets set to vote on legislation that would take the long-overdue step of codifying the protections of Roe v. Wade and affirming nearly 50 years of Supreme Court precedent, voters in NY-11 deserve to know if their representative will stand with them and the majority of Americans who support access to safe, legal abortion.

This legislation could not be more urgent, after Texas Republicans passed a dead-of-the-night, radical bounty-hunting abortion ban that controls people's decisions and criminalizes doctors who provide care for their patients. This is the loudest alarm yet that abortion access is in grave danger, in Texas and across the country. While the Texas bill is extreme, it's part of the Republican agenda to end access to abortion in this country.

Nicole Malliotakis must answer now: will she stand up for Americans' freedom to make their own personal health care decisions, or once again show that she is completely out of touch with voters in NY-11?

DCCC Spokesperson Abel Iraola

"To the surprise of absolutely nobody, Nicole Malliotakis has gone dead silent at a time when her constituents need her the most. Malliotakis has a choice: stand up for New York women's freedom to make their own decisions about their bodies, or answer for her radical attacks on reproductive health care at the ballot box in 2022."
