Elizabeth Warren is calling for a series of targeted measures designed to safeguard abortion rights following a flurry of new state laws that dramatically restrict women's ability to terminate pregnancies, moves Democrats have decried as a planned effort to chip away at the landmark Roe v. Wade decision
Warren's abortion rights platform, released Friday by her Democratic presidential campaign, centers on the establishment of"affirmative, statutory rights" that would"block states from interfering in the ability of a health care provider to provide medical care, including abortion services," and sets similar restrictions on states' power to block patients from getting medical care, including abortions.
"The overwhelming majority of Americans have no desire to return to the world before Roe v. Wade," Warren said in an online post announcing her ideas."And so the time to act is now." Another element of Warren's abortion-rights proposal urges passage of legislation that would prevent the government from imposing abortion-related restrictions on private health insurers. The presidential hopeful also joined several of her Democratic primary rivals in urging the rollback of a 1976 restriction on the use of federal funds to pay for abortions, except for cases of rape, incest or pregnancies that imperil the life of a mother.
