Murkowski vows to work on legislation in response to abortion ruling

Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski (Alaska) announced Friday that she would prioritize legislation permitting abortion across the country following the Dobbs v. Jackson Supreme Court decision that overturned Roe v. Wade.

“In the wake of this ruling, it is up to Congress to respond,” wrote Murkowski, vowing that she would continue “to work with a broader group to restore women’s freedom to control their own health decisions wherever they live.”

She added: “Legislation to accomplish that must be a priority.”

Murkowski recounted that she had introduced legislation earlier this year “to protect women’s reproductive rights as provided in Roe,” namely the Reproductive Choice Act.

instead of a resounding NO will follow you to your grave and beyond...and though I am Jewish and don't believe in Hell, I am hoping my God makes an exception for you (and Susan Collins) specifically...may you be surrounded by the souls of every woman who died a the end of a coat hanger ...
