RNC Statement on the Anniversary of the Dobbs Decision

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the first anniversary of the Dobbs decision:

“One year ago, the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision rightfully overturned flawed judicial precedent. The decision has saved countless lives and set America on a positive course after decades of shameful abortion on-demand practices that put us in a category with China and North Korea. The idea that prominent Democrats refuse to condemn late-term abortions, when babies can feel pain and survive outside the womb, is downright dystopian. That’s why Republicans need to tout our positions proudly. We are the pro-women, pro-family party."

Background:

• Read RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s op-ed on the anniversary of the Dobbs decision.
• Last cycle, the RNC commissioned a national poll on the issue, which was shared with campaigns, consultants, and our sister committees last summer.
  • Polling shows that when the choice is between a Democrat who wants zero abortion restrictions and a Republican who supports protecting life at 15 weeks, Republicans win by 22 points.
  • Seventy-two percent of voters – including 60% of Democrats – support protecting unborn children after 15 weeks.
