Four years after the Supreme Court ripped reproductive rights away from millions of women, Derrick Van Orden has continued the work of further dismantling abortion rights in Congress.
Van Orden’s record is clear: he endangered women’s lives by giving politicians like himself power over decisions that belong to women and their doctors.
- Van Orden said that he is “100% pro-life” and opposes abortion because life begins at conception.
- Van Orden called exceptions for rape and incest “evil” and compared abortion to genocide.
- Van Orden voted to jail doctors and nurses who provide reproductive health care.
- Van Orden supported defunding abortion care for U.S. servicemembers.
- Van Orden voted for a backdoor effort to pressure states with established legal protections into gradually stripping away abortion rights.
DCCC Spokesperson Katie Smith:
“Derrick Van Orden backed the extreme agenda to overturn Roe and ban abortion, denying women the freedom to make their own health care decisions. Van Orden is a reliable vote for draconian laws to control women’s health care and as Wisconsinites are already angry with his unpopular agenda making their lives harder, voters will hold him accountable for being so out-of-touch this November.”
