WASHINGTON - U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren on Friday called for overhauling federal law to ensure that women continue to have access to abortion amid efforts in states like Alabama and Ohio to enact bans on the procedure.
“This is a dark moment,” Warren, who is running for president, wrote in a post on Medium on Friday morning outline her new proposal. “People are scared and angry. And they are right to be. But this isn’t a moment to back down – it’s time to fight back.” Warren said Congress should enact laws that reinforce the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. A new law should go farther to prohibit states from “interfering in the ability of a patient to access medical care, including abortion services, from a provider that offers them.”
