Jones Would Fight to Protect a Woman’s Right to an Abortion
Opinion Advocates for ideas and draws conclusions based on the author/producer’s interpretation of facts and data.
The Dobbs decision’s overturning of Roe v. Wade was a devastating blow to women and girls.
Mondaire Jones is running for Mike Lawler’s 17th Congressional District seat and is a champion of women’s rights. These include the right to reproductive healthcare.
Donald Trump brags about overturning Roe, and Mike Lawler supports Trump and his let-the-states-decide position on women’s reproductive health. We now see what let the states decide means – women in red states are suffering and dying from easily treatable conditions such as miscarriages, ectopic pregnancies and non-viable pregnancies.
Mike Lawler has voted in Congress along Trump lines in favor of anti-abortion legislation. He lied about his and his party’s positions on reproductive healthcare at an in-district event when he denied that there were states that lacked abortion exceptions for rape and incest (which we know do not work and are meaningless), asking attendees of the event to “show [him] the law.” Additionally, he is a strong supporter of Speaker Mike Johnson, whose extremist anti-abortion positions include co-sponsoring a national abortion ban with no exceptions, even to save the life of the mother, and which would make birth control illegal.
Do these policies sound right for New York’s Hudson Valley or the country?
The choice is clear. We should not have a congressional representative like Lawler who wants to drag us back to a pre-Roe America. Rather, we should elect Mondaire Jones, who will work for the rights and dignity of all people.
