House Democrats held a press conference on Friday marking a year since the Supreme Court's decision reversing Roe v. Wade.
House Democrats attacked the Supreme Court justices whoprotections as"corrupt" and"extremist" in a press conference marking one year since the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health ruling was handed down.
"First of all, why we're here today – because last June, we know that a handful of corrupt, extremist, hypocritical justices argued that the issue of abortion should be left to the states to decide," said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., who is running for Senate."If the GOP cared about letting people decide their stance on abortion for themselves, they wouldn't have banned the option for half the country.
The court's conservative majority voted 5-4 to overturn the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade last June, while voting 6-3 to uphold the Mississippi 15-week abortion ban at issue in Dobbs.
