TUCSON, Ariz. — State Senator Priya Sundareshan and State Representative Stephanie Stahl Hamilton sat down exclusively with KGUN 9 this week to discuss the issue of contraception rights . They are Democrats representing Arizona’s 18th and 21st legislative districts in Southern Arizona.
“Roe vs. Wade was a longstanding Supreme Court decision that had protected this right for decades,” said Sundareshan. “And it suddenly got overturned… Justice Thomas in his concurring opinion said, ‘let’s go ahead and revisit a whole number of other rights that had been long-protected’.” But in March, the Republican-controlled Arizona legislature blocked a vote on the bill, saying the Democrats did not follow proper procedure.
Republicans have denied contraception access is in any danger, calling this narrative a political stunt by the Democrats.
