The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and end constitutional protection for abortion has sparked both celebration and outrage from Texas public figures.
The 6-3 ruling on the case known as Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization sets in motion a series of events that will likely lead to abortion being banned or severely restricted in roughly half of the 50 states. released a statement saying, "The U.S. Supreme Court correctly overturned Roe v. Wade and reinstated the right of states to protect innocent, unborn children."
Beto O'Rourke, the Democratic gubernatorial nominee who is taking on Abbott in the election this fall, released his own statement saying, "The only way to overcome today's decision is to win this race for governor." "The Supreme Court's ruling is an acknowledgement of the truth: when an abortion is performed, a human life is ended. This watershed victory is not just a victory for innocent life, but a victory for all of humanity," Patrick added.
Rochelle Garza, the Democratic candidate running for Texas Attorney General against Paxton, responded to the ruling as well saying, "I’m running for Texas Attorney General to fight for Texas families and that includes their constitutional right to reproductive freedom." "Today will be remembered in our nation’s history as one of the greatest milestones in the fight for life."
"Forcing someone to continue a pregnancy against their will is a grave violation of human rights and dignity. All Americans deserve to live under a rule of law that respects their bodily autonomy and reproductive decisions. Let’s be clear: today’s ruling and its unraveling of Roe v. Wade will not end the need for abortion. This decision will have damaging effects for generations.
"Today is a historic day which Republicans and Pro-Life advocates have waited for a generation. It will be remembered in history as the day the United States of America reversed one of the most unjust, damaging and plainly incorrect judicial decisions in it's history. Thankfully, the left's egregious attack on our government institutions failed, and justice was done. We also are grateful for the work of Rep. Giovanni Capriglione, Sen.
"Nevertheless, we cannot and will not stop fighting. Make no mistake: Texas Democrats will not sit idly by as Republicans threaten the lives and liberty of millions of Texans. "The criminalization of reproductive health will cause great harm to women in America; prosecutors and police have no role in matters between doctors and patients. As in every case, we will evaluate the facts and make decisions on a case-by-case basis."Texas State Senator Sarah Eckhardt, who represents Bastrop and Travis Counties, issued the following statement:
"Abortion is a medically important part of reproductive healthcare, and I will continue to fight for the Constitutional rights of all Texans to have timely access to the full spectrum of reproductive healthcare. I ask any Texan who believes in personal liberty and a minimally intrusive government to join in that fight."Democratic Texas State Representative Jasmine Crockett, who currently represents the 100th district and is running in the upcoming 2022 U.S.
"When voters of Texas’ 30th Congressional District trusted me as their next congresswoman, I made a promise to never back down from a fight worth fighting. Before this decision was dropped I already knew, regardless of what the Court decided, it is incumbent upon Congress to act to restore balance to the Court and codify the protections from Roe into law — and that’s only the floor for protecting abortion rights and reproductive justice.
