GiaQuinta statement on decision to overturn Roe v. Wade

INDIANAPOLIS – Following the Supreme Court of the United States’ Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization case decision announcement, Indiana House Democratic Leader Phil GiaQuinta released the following statement:

“Put plainly, access to abortion has allowed women and families to plan their futures on their terms. It’s given women freedom, economic mobility and safety. Now, all of that is under threat.

“Today’s decision rolls back nearly half a century of reproductive health care protections, and House Democrats are prepared to fight whatever regressive legislation House and Senate Republicans put forth. We still believe that medical decisions – and especially serious and difficult ones like abortion – are best made between a woman and her doctor, not by the government.”
