Today, Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Cheri Beasley shared the following statement following reporting that the Supreme Court plans to overturn Roe v. Wade:
If confirmed, this decision is the moment we have feared, warned and fought against. It is terrifying for women across the country.
As a former judge and Chief Justice of the North Carolina Supreme Court, I have spent over two decades in service upholding our constitutional rights — and I know that abortion is a constitutional right.
This horrifying news — and Washington’s failure to eliminate the filibuster and codify Roe v. Wade to protect our rights — has shown us exactly what is at stake and it is more urgent than ever that we elect leaders who will stand up for our fundamental freedoms in the U.S. Senate.
