Congressman Sanford D. Bishop, Jr. (GA-02) issued this statement following the U.S. Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson, which overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling:
“The Supreme Court has reversed over 50 years of judicial precedent and redefined the Constitution to remove a woman’s right to choose. Today's opinion undermines women's autonomy to their own bodies and personal health care choices.
“These personal health care choices should ultimately rest with a woman, her God and her doctor—not with politicians in 50 different state legislatures that may likely encourage Americans to spy on their neighbors for a bounty, stalk women, their friends and supporters; criminalize doctors and otherwise limit access to healthcare.
“While I believe abortion should be rare, it should be legal, safe, and an available choice in cases of rape, incest or to protect the life or health of a woman.”
