EMILYs List Statement on Abortion Driving Voters Four Years After Republicans Overturned Roe v. Wade

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today marks four years since the Trump-stacked U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and eliminated Americans’ long-standing, constitutional right to abortion. EMILYs List President Jessica Mackler released the following statement on Republicans’ continued push to ban abortion nationwide and the political implications ahead of the midterm elections:

“We knew Republicans were never going to stop at Roe. Four years later, they’re continuing to weaponize every branch of government to ban abortion medication, outlaw healthcare access, and rip away our freedoms — while women pay the ultimate price.

“Voters are fed up with Republicans treating their bodies and lives as political pawns, and the backlash is growing. In 2025, like every election since Dobbs, Republicans’ politically toxic, anti-abortion agenda fueled Democratic victories up and down the ballot. Heading into the 2026 midterms, EMILYs List is holding anti-choice Republicans accountable for their assault on our rights and electing Democratic women who will take back power and restore reproductive rights.”
