LIVE: Liz Cheney Hammers Donald Trump in a Conversation with Kamala Harris in Pennslyvania | US Elections 2024 | CNBC TV18
Former GOP Rep. Liz Cheney on Monday appeared to take issue with the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision ending the constitutional right to an abortion, saying that women can’t get the care they need. Cheney initially supported the decision when it was handed down in 2022.
“I think there are many of us around the country who have been pro-life, but who have watched what’s going on in our states since the Dobbs decision, and have watched state legislatures put in place laws that are resulting in women not getting the care they need,” Cheney said during a campaign event with Vice President Kamala Harris in Malvern, Pennsylvania.
The event with Cheney and Harris was the first of several as the vice president’s campaign courts Republicans and independents in key swing states.
“I think this is not an issue that we’re seeing break down across party lines, but I think we’re seeing people come together to say what has happened to women, when women are facing situations where they can’t get the care they need,” Cheney said. “That’s not sustainable for us as a country, and it has to change.”
In 2022, the former Wyoming congresswoman approved of the Supreme Court’s decision to end Roe v Wade, saying she has “always been strongly pro-life” and that the ruling “returns power to the states and the people of the states to address the issue of abortion under state law.”
