Today, on the 51st anniversary of the Supreme Court issuing their landmark decision in Roe v. Wade Arizona Democratic Party Chair Yolanda Bejarano released the following statement:

“On this day fifty-one years ago, the Supreme Court issued a landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade that protected the right to choose for Arizonans, yet today, women have faced an onslaught of attacks on their fundamental freedoms – all because of Donald Trump. Roe v. Wade would still be in place if not for Trump’s presidency, and now, he’s running on a pledge to ban abortion nationwide, which would rip away freedoms from millions of Arizonans. Arizona is the next abortion battleground- from enshrining abortion rights in our constitution, sending Joe Biden and Kamala Harris back to the White House, delivering a pro-choice Democratic trifecta by flipping the legislature, and rejecting Trump’s favorite extreme anti-abortion Republicans Kari Lake, Juan Ciscomani, and David Schweikrt. The stakes in November could not be higher, and Arizonans know that freedoms are on the line.”
