BOYLE STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT DECISION OVERTURNING ROE V WADE 

June 24, 2022

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Brendan F. Boyle (PA-02) released the statement below following the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health, a verdict that overturns Roe v. Wade and eliminates the federal standard regarding abortion access:

"The Supreme Court's decision today to overturn Roe v. Wade delivered a severe blow to women's rights, as well as the constitutional right of all individuals to make their own health decisions. The Supreme Court has eliminated key protections for women's health that have been upheld by Roe v. Wade for nearly 50 years."

"Roe was not the start of abortions, it was the end of women dying from them. This decision will have dangerous consequences for patients across the nation. No matter where a person lives, what they look like, or what they do, everyone should have the freedom to decide what is best for themselves and their families, including when it comes to abortion care."
