Congressman Krishnamoorthi Denounces Supreme Court Decision To Overturn Roe v. Wade

June 24, 2022

WASHINGTON – Today, Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement in response the Supreme Court's decision to strike down Roev. Wade:

"The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is a tragic, devastating rollback of nearly half a century of progress and precedent in protecting reproductive rights, the right to bodily autonomy, the right to privacy, and the rights of women more broadly. Unfortunately, this is likely only the beginning of this extreme, right-wing court's attacks on the rights of Americans. A woman's fundamental right to make her own health decisions, in consultation with her doctor and her loved ones, must be protected, and that's why I will continue to work unyieldingly with my colleagues to enshrine Roe v. Wade and the right to choose in law."
