NARAL Pro-Choice America Thanks Sen. Merkley for Standing With the People Against Gorsuch

Today, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) held the floor for nearly 16 hours to protest Judge Neil Gorsuch’s nomination to the Supreme Court. NARAL Pro-Choice America President Ilyse Hogue issued the following statement thanking Sen. Merkley:

“The millions of Americans who have spent weeks organizing and mobilizing in cities across the country against President Trump’s dangerous Supreme Court nominee have a true champion in Sen. Merkley. Sen. Merkley has stood with the people—literally and figuratively—for years. His leadership is inspiring to all those resisting the Trump agenda and pushing for a better tomorrow. NARAL’s 1.2 million member-activists are proud to thank Sen. Merkley for working to protect the basic freedoms of all Americans from extreme ideological agendas.”
