Bice Applauds Reversal of Roe vs. Wade

Statement

Congresswoman Bice issued the following statement after the Supreme Court announced its decision in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case, overturning Roe v. Wade:

"My constituents in Oklahoma overwhelmingly support pro-life protections. I am pleased that the Supreme Court has reversed the Roe v. Wade opinion, putting the power back into the hands of state legislatures and the electorate rather than non-elected Justices. This decision reverses the radical abortion policies of our country, which mirror countries like North Korea and China. In Congress, I will continue to fight for unborn babies and advocate for policies that support moms who wish to give their child the gift of life through adoption."

Background information on Roe v. Wade and Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health:

·     Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization is a case involving a Mississippi law that limits abortion after 15 weeks.

·     Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization seeks to restore greater power to the electorate and state lawmakers rather than Supreme Court Justices.

·     If Roe. V. Wade is overturned, it will not outlaw abortion throughout the country, instead, it sends the issue back to state governments.

·     At 6 weeks, the unborn baby has a heartbeat.

·     By 10 weeks, the unborn baby has arms, legs, fingers, and toes.

·     At 15 weeks, a baby feels pain.
