Elected leaders in San Diego County largely condemned Friday's ruling overturning the federal abortion protections of Roe v. Wade.

Senate President pro-Tempore Toni G. Atkins, D-San Diego said,"I share the searing fury felt by the majority of Americans who are angry and scared for what this Supreme Court decision means -- for the lives of their daughters, granddaughters, and loved ones. For the lives of everyone who will be left without options as a result of this regressive decision. With this ruling, the Supreme Court has turned its back on safety and equality. But in California, those values remain firmly rooted.

"I listened to and learned from a distraught mother whose daughter died after an illegal abortion, and helped women understand all of their options when they thought they had none," she said."We will not be shoved back into the dark days of desperate decisions. Abortion is health care and the decision to have one lies solely with the patient. California will not leave people vulnerable to the tyranny of a loud minority.
