Sen. Casey: ‘If This Supreme Court Can Overturn a 49-Year Right for Women, They Can Surely Take Away Other Rights’

EXCERPT:

CASEY: “The broader question of rights, meaning voting rights in — in democracy, women’s rights, obviously, and workers’ rights, less so on the third, but I think that’s kind of the next — the next set of battle lines. But look, if this Supreme Court can overturn a 49-year right for women, they can certainly take away other rights. And you just saw in the recent debate in the Senate, we had two separate weeks. One week was a vote on contraception. Just imagine that. You think it would be an easy up or down vote. Every Republican, Republican senator but two didn’t vote to uphold the right to contraception in 2024. Then that was followed a week later by a vote on IVF and the same held true. The Republican Party has gone so extreme and so far right that they not only support all these abortion bans that are taking place in state after state, but they can’t even uphold the right to contraception or the right on a national basis to support IVF.”
