The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm launched a website on Friday targeting Republicans in battleground states on their past comments on abortion ahead of the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.

The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) website, called goponabortion.com and first shared with The Hill, highlights past comments made by Senate candidates in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.

The DSCC website features excerpts of remarks from Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who both face reelection next year, in addition to a number of Republicans who have declared their candidacies for the Senate or are expected to run.

    The Senate Democrats’ campaign arm launched a website on Friday targeting Republicans in battleground states on their past comments on abortion ahead of the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision.

    The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee’s (DSCC) website, called goponabortion.com and first shared with The Hill, highlights past comments made by Senate candidates in Arizona, Florida, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Texas and Wisconsin.

    Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas), who both face reelection next year, in addition to a number of Republicans who have declared their candidacies for the Senate or are expected to run.

    This group includes Kari Lake in Arizona; former Rep. Mike Rogers (R-Mich.), former Rep. Peter Meijer (R-Mich.) and James Craig in Michigan; Tim Sheehy and Rep. Matt Rosendale (R-Mont.)

    Democrats have just a one-seat majority in the Senate and face a difficult map, as they defend a number of seats in states that have gone red in recent presidential elections.

    “On record and on video, Republican Senate candidates have made it clear they stand in lockstep with their party’s agenda to ban abortion nationwide and without exceptions,” DSCC spokesperson Katarina Flicker said in a statement.

      I want to stand by democrats and with their one intern that built this.

      Though compared to republican efforts of basically filling the supreme court, writing laws in states to block progress, arresting women that have miscarriages.

      A website that tells people that republicans are doing this feels woefully inadequate. People need democrats to be just as ruthless as republicans right now. Not a reminder that republicans are this ruthless.
