Blue Dog Coalition Statement on Supreme Court Overturning Roe v. Wade

WASHINGTON—The Co-Chairs of the Blue Dog Coalition—Reps. Tom O'Halleran (AZ-01), Ed Case (HI-01), Stephanie Murphy (FL-07), and Kurt Schrader (OR-05)—issued the following statement on the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade:

"We are saddened and disappointed by the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, effectively ending decades of protections for the health of women in the United States. With this action, five justices have taken away the right of a woman to make the most personal and private choice about her reproductive health and deeply undermined the public's faith that the Court remains impervious to politics. This is a dark day for our country."
