Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) raised concerns about potential 2024 primary foe Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's (D-NY) calls to ignore a Texas judge's abortion pill ruling.
Without explicitly ruling out pleas to ignore the ruling, Gillibrand alluded to the potential ramifications of dismissing the ruling and laid out a"last-ditch" strategy to safeguard abortion rights."It’s hard to ignore the rule of law, and we have a court system and an appeals system for a reason. So I think the Biden administration is correct in actually fighting this at the Supreme Court," she told CNN's State of the Union.
"It's an outrage. And so we will fight in every respect we can. We will file lawsuits, we will continue to appeal this kind of decision. We will also continue to fight state by state to codify Roe in state law," Gillibrand added."And we have had many ballot initiatives, even in red places like Kansas and Montana, where we have been successful.""The interesting thing when it comes to a ruling is that it relies on enforcement," Ocasio-Cortez previously told CNN.
