WASHINGTON, April 25 -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued the following news release on April 24, 2024:
Today the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments about the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a law that requires doctors to provide care to stabilize patients in life-threatening circumstances. The court is considering whether Idaho's abortion ban overrules EMTALA, opening doctors to criminal charges if they perform an emergency abortion to protect the health and life of the woman.

The court is considering whether Idaho's abortion ban overrules EMTALA, opening doctors to criminal charges if they perform an emergency abortion to protect the health and life of the woman.
Let's be clear: House Republicans' aggressive and dangerous anti-abortionagenda got us to this point.
Tom Kean Jr. and House Republicans have universally fought against any attempt to protect access to critical reproductive care, including unanimously blocking consideration of the Women's Health Protection Act -- legislation that would have codified Roe and guaranteed the very same protections now under threat in today's Supreme Court arguments.
DCCC Spokesperson Aidan Johnson:
"Because of House Republicans like Tom Kean Jr., reproductive freedom is under threat. Today's case before the Supreme Court is a tragic reminder of the relentless lengths anti-freedom extremists will go to ban abortion, even going so far as to deny women life-saving medical care. Despite efforts to mislead New Jerseyans on his record, Kean Jr. has been an eager participant in the far-right crusade to ban abortion nationwide."

The court is considering whether Idaho's abortion ban overrules EMTALA, opening doctors to criminal charges if they perform an emergency abortion to protect the health and life of the woman.
Let's be clear: Zinke's aggressive and dangerous anti-abortion agendagot us to this point.
Ryan Zinke has fought against any attempt to protect access to critical reproductive care, including blocking consideration of the Women's Health Protection Act -- legislation that would have codified Roe and guaranteed the very same protections now under threat in today's Supreme Court arguments.
Zinke's budget even calls for passage of the Life at Conception Act, a nationwide abortion ban without exceptions for rape, incest, or the woman's life. Zinke has repeatedly supported measures to restrict abortion access nationwide after misleading voters on the campaign trail by saying reproductive freedom should be a "Montana decision."
DCCC Spokesperson Mallory Payne:
"Because of Ryan Zinke's agenda, reproductive freedom is under threat. Today's case before the Supreme Court is a tragic reminder of the relentless lengths anti-freedom extremists will go to ban abortion, even going so far as to deny women life-saving medical care. Despite efforts to mislead Montanans on his record, Zinke has been at the center of the crusade to ban abortion nationwide."

Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee: Ratings Change - Crystal Ball Moves PA-10 in Democrats' Direction, Says Perry's District is "Blue-Trending"
WASHINGTON, April 25 -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued the following news release on April 24, 2024:
Today, the non-partisan election forecaster Sabato's Crystal Ball shifted Pennsylvania's 10th Congressional District from "Likely Republican" to "Leans Republican."
The forecaster attributed (https://centerforpolitics.org/crystalball/notes-on-the-state-of-politics-april-24-2024/) the change to Perry's "association with Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election and hard-right voting record," which don't align with "blue-trending" Central Pennsylvania.

DCCC SpokespersonAidan Johnson:
"Central Pennsylvanians want a representative who is focused on lowering costs, defending reproductive freedoms, and growing the middle class, not someone who is consumed by their own chaos and extremism. Scott Perry is dangerously out of step with this district, and voters will make this term his last."

Today the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments about the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA), a law that requires doctors to provide care to stabilize patients in life-threatening circumstances. Texas is also in a legal case with the federal government over EMTALA's guidance stating that no state can deny an abortion when the life of the woman is at risk.
Monica De La Cruz supports Texas's aggressive and dangerous anti-abortion agenda. She celebrated whenS.B. 8, the bill that forced people like Kate Cox to travel out of state for health care, took effect.
De La Cruz and House Republicans have universally fought against any attempt to protect access to critical reproductive care, including unanimously blocking consideration of the Women's Health Protection Act -- legislation that would have codified Roe and guaranteed the very same protections now under threat in today's Supreme Court arguments.
What's more, Monica De La Cruz's Republican Study Committee backed the Life at Conception Act and its nationwide abortion ban without exceptions.
DCCC Spokesperson Lauryn Fanguen:
"Monica De La Cruz is complicit in states putting the lives and health of women at risk. Denying women life-saving health care is unconscionable and despite Monica De La Cruz's efforts to mislead Texans on her record, she has been an eager participant in the far-right crusade to ban abortion nationwide."
