Democrats Keep Defending Abortion Post-Dobbs

Three years after the Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade, Democratic National Committee leadership says the party will go to the wall on abortion. A Supreme Court decision and the federal spending bill are about to make that a lot harder.

“Regardless of whether or not this is a popular issue or electorally winning issue, which it is, the reality is this is not an issue about right or left,” DNC Chairman Ken Martin said in response to a question from National Review. “This is an issue about right or wrong, and our party will always stand with women when they make their health care decisions. This is a decision that is left to them and them alone, and we will always stand with women in this regard.”
