U.S. Rep. Lawrence Condemns SCOTUS Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

Press Release

Today, U.S. Representative Brenda L. Lawrence (MI-14), Co-Chair of the Democratic Women's Caucus, condemned the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe v. Wade.

"Today is a dark day for America. Never in my life did I think I would see Roe v. Wade being struck down. This misguided and dangerous Supreme Court decision, overturning nearly 50 years of precedent, will harm women and families in Michigan and across the country," said Rep. Lawrence. "Abortion care is a human right. But with this life-threatening decision, several states are set to enact deadly abortion bans. Let me say this loud and clear: abortion bans don't ban abortions; they just ban safe abortions. Today, our country is moving backwards, reproductive rights are being undermined, and women's rights are being rolled back significantly. Now more than ever, the Senate needs to act and vote on the House-passed Women's Health Protection Act so that women can make the best healthcare decisions for themselves and their families. We have to get this done."
