WASHINGTON, D.C. – On April 14, 2023 , U.S. Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-FL) released the following statement condemning Florida’s six-week abortion ban.
“Today is a dark day in Florida. Our state continues to be ground zero for undemocratic policies that restrict access to basic freedoms, including a woman’s right to make healthcare decisions about her own body. This cannot stand. We will not sit in silence while far-right politicians seek to take our country back to a time when women had less freedom and autonomy over their bodies. I’m grateful to my colleagues in the state legislature who fought valiantly to protect women against this extreme measure. I will continue to advocate in Congress for federal codification of reproductive rights so that future generations of women can live without fear that their dignity and bodily autonomy will be stripped away.”
