REP. VARGAS' STATEMENT ON SUPREME COURT'S DOBBS V. JACKSON WOMEN'S HEALTH ORGANIZATION DECISION

"Today's Supreme Court decision is fundamentally wrong and extremely disappointing," said Rep. Vargas. "The Court's conservative majority has turned back the clock on our nation's progress, impacting millions of women and restricting their access to reproductive health care. Roe v. Wade was the law of the land, and overturning precedent could now jeopardize other hard-fought legal victories, including LGBTQIA+ rights, racial equality, and more. I'm proud that my home state of California has introduced legislation allowing Californians to continue making their own reproductive health care decisions. However, millions of women across the country now face a different reality. This is a disappointing day, but the fight is not yet over. I'll continue working to ensure that our nation always moves forward, not backward."
