Congressman Steven Horsford Comments on the Leaked Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

NORTH LAS VEGAS, NV – Congressman Steven Horsford (D-NV-04) released the following statement regarding the leaked draft majority opinion of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade:

"I am deeply troubled by reports that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade in the coming months," said Rep. Horsford. "While this decision is not final, it would be an outrageous break with 50 years of precedent. Nevadans voted to enshrine protections in our state Constitution that safeguard a woman's right to a safe, legal abortion by an overwhelming margin in 1990. But without federal protections, many states will deny women this right. We cannot allow that to happen. That's why I will continue advocating for a woman's right to choose in Congress and will work to get the House-passed Women's Health Protection Act to the President for his signature."
