Friday’s outcome of the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade was received with mixed reactions, from locally to nationally.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton:

“Roe v. Wade and its successor case Planned Parenthood v. Casey have absolutely no basis in the U.S. Constitution. Nevertheless, for half a century, Americans have had to live under these illegitimate, illegal, and unconstitutional dictates of a partisan, willful Supreme Court. No more. Today, the question of abortion returns to the states. And in Texas, that question has already been answered: abortion is illegal here.

Governor Abbott put in place a “trigger ban,” in Texas meaning that now abortion will be completely illegal in the state in 30 days and performing an abortion will carry criminal penalties. In the decades following Roe v Wade, communities have felt the benefits of what happens when every individual has the right to decide what is best for their lives and their future. Access to abortion care has been critical to women’s equal participation in society. Reversing Roe will upend the decades of progress women have fought to achieve.

Texans deserve the freedom to make their own reproductive health care decisions. Politicians should stay out of the doctors office and leave health care to patients and their doctors. Outlawing abortions doesn’t prevent them from happening – it only stops them from happening safely.Women deserve better.
