Kevin Kiley Cowers After Deeply Unpopular Abortion Ruling From MAGA Texas Judge

Article from the DCCC Press Room

On Friday, a Trump-appointed federal judge in Texas banned the safe, widely used abortion drug mifepristone, an unprecedented and dangerous measure that threatens women’s freedom to make decisions about their health care. Kevin Kiley has yet to comment.

This decision is the latest step in the Republicans’ crusade to ban abortion in all 50 states. At the same time, this politically motivated move undermines the FDA’s ability to approve safe and effective medications going forward — including new drugs to treat cancer, diabetes, and other chronic illnesses.

DCCC spokesperson Tommy Garcia: “Kevin Kiley’s silence on the latest attempt to ban abortion nationwide is yet another reminder that he is a part of Republicans’ crusade against reproductive freedom. It’s both dangerous and wildly out-of-touch with the will of California voters.”

In the wake of one of the greatest assaults on women’s freedoms since Roe was overturned in 2022, Kevin Kiley has refused to condemn this dangerous decision — cowering in silence, knowing his extreme anti-choice position is out-of-touch with the American people. While Democrats in Congress have introduced a bill to protect women’s right to access medication like mifepristone, Kiley has so far refused to sign on in support.
