WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden signed into law a sweeping health, climate and tax bill Tuesday that includes funding for drought-plagued states like Nevada, measures to lower prescription drug prices for seniors and tax credits to bolster solar and other clean energy.
Throughout my time in public service, I have always been a strong advocate for equal treatment under the law for everyone. It is especially important to me that women have the freedom to make their own healthcare decisions, as they face very real challenges to their freedoms.
I'm Congressman Stephen Horsford and I just left the floor where I voted in favor of protecting a woman's freedom to make her own health care decisions. The egregious ruling by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe versus Wade has taken back the rights that women have fought so hard for to advance women's health care.

Democratic politicians in Nevada lamented the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of constitutional abortion protections as an attack on women’s rights, while Republicans declared it an end to “federal overreach.”
WASHINGTON – Congressman Steven Horsford today reacted to the decision of the United States Supreme Court to overturn a 50-year precedent that had guaranteed a woman’s right to decide to have an abortion. In their decision, the court overturned the rulings of Roe v. Wade in 1973 and Casey v. Planned Parenthood in 1992, which had prevented states from restricting access to abortion.
Proud to represent Nevada's fourth district, I am honored to have joined hundreds of my colleagues on the steps of the Capitol today to stand up and protect Roe v. Wade. We are united in our commitment to ensure that women have the fundamental right to make their own healthcare decisions.

The message was clear from the roughly 200 people gathered Tuesday evening in downtown Las Vegas in support of abortion rights: “Stand up, fight back!”
