The Supreme Court decision today overturning Roe v. Wade takes away the right to privacy and Americans’ freedom to make their own decision on whether to have an abortion. Senator Rubio wants to make abortion illegal in Flordia without exceptions for rape, incest, and the health of the mother, criminalize doctors for providing safe medical services and punish Floridians for having abortions.
Rubio has long pushed to overturn Roe v. Wade and prevent people in Florida from accessing the healthcare they need. Rubio has previously said Roe v. Wade “is not settled law” and that “until we can get a Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs. Wade, we do everything possible… to confront it.” Rubio has also stated that he “never” supported rape and incest exceptions in abortion bans.
The stakes of the 2022 election could not be higher. Florida voters have a clear choice between Marco Rubio, who wants to roll back our freedoms and have the government make healthcare decisions for people in Florida, and Chief Val Demings, who will ensure that every person in Florida has the freedom to make their own medical decisions.
