Oregon Lawmaker has our back: Tina Kotek's words to Women
Diane, I'm horrified by what happened today. With callous disregard for the majority of Americans who believe that the right to an abortion is a personal choice and not one for the government to decide, the Supreme Court has stripped away an essential right and sent our country back 50 years.
This news is devastating, and I know I'm not alone in this feeling. Millions of people in Oregon and around the country are shattered by this ruling.
But the fight is far from over. I have always said that no matter what happens at the Supreme Court, reproductive rights will be protected in Oregon. As Governor, I will keep that promise. My focus will be on upholding the landmark legislation that I already passed – making sure that no matter what happens on the national stage, Oregonians have the right to choose for themselves.
There's a lot at stake this November – and even more so now with this definitive ruling from the Supreme Court that overturns access to legal, safe abortion.
