Rep. Bucshon's Statement on Supreme Court Ruling to Protect Life

Statement

Today, U.S. Congressman Larry Bucshon, M.D. (R-Ind.) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court released its decision regarding Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. This case overruled the precedent set in Roe v. Wade, upholding the constitutionality of pre-viability restrictions on abortion and returning responsibility for abortion laws to the people's elected representatives in state legislatures.

"All life is sacred. For more than 15 years this basic principle guided my actions as a physician and continues to mold my thinking as a lawmaker. The Supreme Court's ruling today is an important step in a decades-long fight toward protecting all life and will return the decision to the states to best reflect the views of their people," said Dr. Bucshon.

Background:

Representative Bucshon has an A+ voting record with the National Right to Life Organization and Susan B. Anthony List for his voting record supporting the sanctity of life. He also supported an amicus brief to the court on this case last summer.
