Schneider Statement on SCOTUS Decision Overturning Roe v. Wade

June 24, 2022

WASHINGTON — Today, Congressman Brad Schneider (IL-10) issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled to overturn Roe v. Wade in:

"Justice Alito's opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization will forever be a stain on the legacy of the Supreme Court. The Court's decision to overturn nearly 50 years of freedom for American women will have long and unimaginable consequences. We know that women across the country will now lose their access to safe health care. We know that, as a result, women will die, families will fall into poverty, and America will be immeasurably poorer.

"I will always fight for a woman's right to choose. I'm proud of my vote to codify Roe and deliver the promise of safe health care to the next generation."
