WASHINGTON — Today, League of Women Voters of the United States President Dr. Deborah Turner issued the following statement after the Supreme Court issued a stay of lower court decisions that limited access to the abortion drug mifepristone while the issue is heard on appeal:

"Women and those who may become pregnant deserve access to quality healthcare, including abortion and the privacy to make their own reproductive choices. Democracy depends on equal rights for all people. The League of Women Voters stands in solidarity with women and individuals who may become pregnant in the fight to protect reproductive freedom."
