Ayotte decision a stark reminder of anti-choice attacks

Nancy Keenan had this to say about the Ayotte decision handed down today:

"The Ayotte case is an example of how lawmakers at the state and federal levels are continuing to exploit every opportunity to take away our reproductive freedom – even while Roe v. Wade stands. Today, we are issuing our 15th annual report summarizing women's access to healthcare nationwide and exposing the persistent threat facing reproductive freedom across the 50 states.

"While it is certainly heartening that the Court did not use this case to overturn specific precedents that protect women's health, this decision does mark a departure from prior cases. In the past, abortion restrictions that did not include protection for women's health would have been struck down in their entirety. After today's decision, that is no longer the case."
