NEW DNC VIDEO: #FillTheSeat to Protect Women’s Health
Every day this week, the DNC is highlighting reasons Americans need the Senate to do their job, not obstruct President Obama’s Supreme Court nominee.

WASHINGTON – The Democratic National Committee has launched a new media campaign, #FillTheSeat, to highlight how the Republican obstruction on the vacancy in the Supreme Court affects every American.

Today the focus is on how the GOP’s vow to obstruct President Obama’s nominee poses a direct threat to women’s health. Over and over, we’ve seen the Republican presidential candidates on the stump trying to outdo each other on their extreme positions to shut down health providers across the country that millions of women depend on. All of the GOP candidates oppose access to safe, legal abortion, and Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz oppose it even in cases of rape and incest. If the Republicans are able to block President Obama’s nominee they are betting that, if they are able to capture the White House and hold the Senate, they will be able to threaten the viability of Roe v. Wade.

The Republican candidates’ extreme positions on women’s health would drag our nation backwards and hurt millions of women across the nation. In response, the DNC is releasing a new video today as part of our #FilltheSeat campaign to highlight just how much is at stake for women’s health with the Supreme Court vacancy. This campaign kicked off on Monday with a video<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lChG-Cj_Kg&feature=youtu.be> that focused on how important a fully functioning Supreme Court is for LGBT Americans.
