Quigley Statement on Twenty Week Abortion Ban

May 13, 2015

WASHINGTON – Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley (IL-05) released the following statement in response to the Twenty Week Abortion Ban (H.R. 36), another attempt to restrict a woman's right to choose:

"Forty-two years ago, the Supreme Court affirmed a woman's constitutional right to choose. Yet, four decades later, the House voted again to rob women of their right to control their own bodies. This bill is a blatant attempt by opponents of choice to further restrict a woman's access to a safe and legal abortion. It is time to end this war on women and instead work to solve the many real problems facing our country."
