Rep. Calvert Statement on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization Ruling

June 24, 2022

Today, Congressman Ken Calvert (CA-42) issued the following statement regarding the Supreme Court's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization:

"Today's Supreme Court ruling shifts the power to set abortion policies to Congress and to the States. This will allow for the American people to have a greater say in this most difficult and personal issue. Today's ruling will understandably spark passionate responses from all sides. We should not react by enacting extreme policies that allow for abortion on-demand, up until the point of birth. I also believe we must have policies in place that protect the health and well-being of women. Now, more than ever, Congress and our states should invest in pregnancy prevention programs, pregnancy crisis centers, and other resources that help women and protect life."
