Congresswoman Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick, representing Florida’s 20th district in the U.S. Congress, has recently shared her perspectives on significant legal and constitutional issues through a series of tweets. These statements reflect her stance on reproductive rights and citizenship laws in the United States.
On January 23, 2025, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick expressed her views on the reversal of Roe v. Wade: "Roe v. Wade granted women access to life-saving reproductive healthcare. In 2022, this landmark decision was reversed, causing millions of Americans to lose the critical right to choose what’s best for their own bodies."
Following up on this issue, she emphasized the importance of continuing efforts to protect women's healthcare rights: "We must continue the fight to ensure every woman in America can make their own healthcare decisions." This tweet was posted shortly after her initial statement on January 23, 2025.
In another tweet dated January 24, 2025, Congresswoman Cherfilus-McCormick addressed the topic of birthright citizenship under the U.S. Constitution's 14th Amendment: "If you are born on U.S. soil, you are an American. Period. One act can’t change the 14th Amendment — and I will ensure our constitution is upheld and protected."
