“For 49 years a woman’s right to determine their own reproductive health care decisions has existed. Now it is up to our generation to continue the fight.”
Springfield, IL – This morning, the Supreme Court announced its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, reversing 49 years of precedent affirming a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion in the United States.
Nikki Budzinski made the following statement: “The Supreme Court’s decision shreds decades of progress and reproductive freedom for women across the country.”
“My heart goes out to all the women that have fought to keep reproductive healthcare a decision between a woman and her doctor and to women who may be fearful that they don’t have access to a safe, legal abortion.”
“Roe v. Wade has guaranteed this healthcare choice for women for 49 years. In Congress I will fight for women’s healthcare rights. I will fight for you.”
