'Fall will be swift' if Roe v. Wade is overturned: Sen. Amy Klobuchar
ABC News
Sen. Amy Klobuchar, D-Minn., appeared on ABC's "This Week" Sunday.
When it comes to abortion protections "the fall will be swift" if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, Sen. Amy Klobuchar said Sunday, adding that the Senate will do everything it can to codify a woman's right to choose.
"With this leaked opinion, the court is looking at reversing 50 years of women's rights" Klobuchar, D-Minn., told ABC "This Week" co-anchor Martha Raddatz.
"I think the question that voters are going to be asking when 75 percent of people are with us on this, is who should make this decision," Klobuchar said. "Should it be a woman and her doctor or a politician? Should it be Ted Cruz making this decision or a woman and her family? Where are women’s equal rights?"
On Tuesday, Chief Justice Roberts confirmed a leaked draft opinion of a Supreme Court ruling indicating that a conservative majority of justices are poised to overturn Roe v. Wade.
