Sean Patrick Maloney: Women should control their own bodies
Sean Patrick Maloney | USA TODAY Network | Oct. 6, 2022
When it comes to reproductive rights, my position is simple: women should have the freedom to control their own bodies. I believe health decisions are best made by a woman and her doctor — not politicians….
It’s not too late to stop this assault on our freedoms. While Lawler’s allies in Congress would put forward national abortion bans, Democrats have fought to protect women’s reproductive rights. I was proud to co-sponsor and help pass the Women’s Health Protection Act through the House to enshrine the protections of Roe and the right to abortion into federal law. Lawler has said he would vote against that bill. Lawler also opposes the Reproductive Health Act, which became law in New York in 2019 and codified Roe v. Wade protections to ensure access to safe, legal abortion in New York State.
Simply put: I have always worked to protect women’s rights, access to abortion, and access to contraceptives. Lawler has voted against women’s rights every chance he’s gotten.
