Foxx Statement on Supreme Court Decision to Uphold “Partial Birth” Abortion Ban

Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (NC-05) issued the following statement today after the United States Supreme Court voted to uphold the ban on “partial birth” abortion:

“Today’s decision by the United States Supreme Court to affirm the ban on partial-birth abortion will ensure that lives of the unborn are protected from this incredibly gruesome procedure.

“This decision is an important victory for the sanctity of life and reinvigorates the fight to protect the lives of unborn babies. In affirming the constitutionally of the ban on this terrible procedure, the Supreme Court is joining with the vast majority of Americans who oppose partial-birth abortions.

“I applaud the Court’s ruling and its affirmation of the sanctity of life and I pledge to continue to fight on behalf of the unborn children who cannot protect themselves.”
