ICYMI: Cortez Masto Sounds The Alarm Over Abortion Pill SCOTUS Case
Interview
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
"We've seen the tragic consequences of abortion restrictions across the country and it started with this court. Remember, we had former president Trump and Mitch McConnell stack the United States Supreme Court with these far-right judges in the hopes that they would overturn Roe v. Wade, and that's exactly what they've done.
We see now that it continues the erosion of the rights of women and further restricts their access to essential medicine.
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
A lot of women are going to be hindered from having access to this medication because they've got to work. They don't always have the ability to get to there or travel four hours to get there. So this is further restricting women's access to essential health care medication for the reproductive rights.

It means to me that a lot of women are going to be hindered from having access to this medication because they have got to work. They don't always have the ability to travel four hours to get there.

This is perfect example of a case now going to the U.S. Supreme Court again, and the court is going to weigh in on whether women can access essential medication that they need based on the advice of their doctor.
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
It's outrageous. Look at what happened to Kate Cox. It is outrageous that women who already in a difficult situation are required to have to go to a Court of law. At the end of the day it requires so many voters out there who care about this issue. I believe a majority of Americans care about a woman's right to choose.
We need to elect representatives who believe the same thing that it is a woman's right to choose and not take away a woman's health care essential health care when she needs it.
BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
It's so hard in our rural communities in Northern Nevada. You have to drive sometimes for hours just to see a doctor. Let alone get the care in your community because we lack the health care professionals in some of our rural communities, so this is a further restriction on access for this medication for women. And in this day and age, it's just outrageous!"
