Today, Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher (TX-07) released the following statement after the Supreme Court of the United States released its decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade:

"Today's Supreme Court decision is an affront to the liberty, autonomy, privacy, and dignity of all Americans, and of American women in particular," said Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher. "With this decision revoking rather than protecting rights for Americans, the Court has created a devastating and dangerous path forward that jeopardizes the health and undermines the equality of people across this country."

Congresswoman Fletcher is an original cosponsor of and voted for the Women's Health Protection Act, H.R. 3755, which codifies Roe v. Wade and guarantees equal access to abortion care. She has also introduced legislation to fight back against Texas Senate Bill 8 and led efforts to restore access to reproductive health care services across the country.
