Rep. Greg Stanton issued the following statement following the Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health:
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe will have immediate and devastating effects for Arizona women's health and safety--and their fundamental right to determine their futures.
This is a dark, dark day for our country, and the Supreme Court. For 50 years the Court had recognized the constitutional right to an abortion--and in the pursuit of an extreme, ideological agenda it has rolled out the red carpet for states to criminalize women and their doctors.
