Pallone Statement on Supreme Court’s Decision to Strike Down Texas Abortion Law

WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman Frank Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee, issued the following statement on the Supreme Court’s decision in Whole Woman’s Health v. Hellerstedt:

“I’m pleased by the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down a Texas law designed to restrict women’s access to abortion services. Today’s decision reaffirms that Roe v. Wade is the law of the land, and women have a constitutional right to have an abortion without undue burdens imposed by the state. This decision is a positive step forward, but more work remains to protect women’s access to health care from overly burdensome state regulations intended to deny services and care.”
