In a separate statement of her own on the Dobbs anniversary, DeLauro decried the decision, saying it was made by an "Activist conservative Supreme Court" that "Disregard[ed] science to strip away a woman's fundamental and constitutional right to make her own health care decisions."
DeLauro further denounced states that have enacted abortion bans and restrictions since the Dobbs decision and attacked an ongoing effort by some pro-life groups to ban mifepristone, the abortion drug most commonly used throughout the country.
"The past year has made clear the goal of GOP lawmakers across the nation and here in Congress: a total ban on abortions across the nation," DeLauro said.
The case DeLauro is referring to is Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine v. The Food and Drug Administration.
In this case, several pro-life groups, being represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom, are suing the FDA for allegedly ignoring its own research and testing standards when approving the abortion drug mifepristone in 2000.
In April, federal Texas judge Matthew Kacsmaryk issued a ruling overturning the FDA's abortion drug approval.
The Supreme Court later blocked the Texas ruling from taking effect while the case continues to work its way through appeals courts.
