With the November elections looming, leaders such as Padilla are looking to the November elections, asking voters to keep the Supreme Court’s decision overturning of Roe v. Wade in mind.
Roe and Casey had upheld a right to an abortion, protected by the U.S. Constitution. But in Dobbs, the Court left the decision decision on the legality of abortion to individual state legislatures — fracturing nearly 50 years of what many thought was settled law.
U.S. Senator Alex Padilla holds a press conference with Sue Dunlap, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Los Angeles, to discuss efforts to protect essential reproductive health care and abortion rights in the wake of the Dobbs decision at Planned Parenthood’s Los Angeles headquarters on Friday, July 29, 2022.
It’s also sparked significant changes in other kinds of medical care, with some doctors declining immediate treatment for serious health problems related to reproductive care for fear of running afoul of strict abortion bans. President Joe Biden has said he cannot, on his own, restore access to abortion nationwide. He has called on voters to elect to Congress this fall a sufficient number of Democrats who could then vote to codify the rights of Roe v. Wade. But his administration has come under significant pressure from advocacy groups to use his executive powers, including declaring a public health emergency on abortion.
And despite polls showing a majority of Americans back a federal right, many top Republicans have been eager to lean into the fight against abortion rights, seeing the overturning of Roe as a promise they kept to voters.even before the Supreme Court’s ruling that a future nationwide ban was “possible.”
