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!”
