Jackson case.\n\n\u201cOur Declaration of Independence establishes the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, and the Supreme Court\u2019s sound decision upholds a cornerstone of our democracy and will save an untold number of lives. I commend the Justices on their judicial insight and for taking a bold step to protect the lives of our unborn children,\u201d Rep. Guest said.\n\n\u201cThere is nothing more important than standing up for the unborn and fighting for life,\u201d said Rep. McClain. \u201cThe Supreme Court made the correct decision in the Dobbs case by declaring that there is no Constitutional right to abortion. I applaud the courage of the Justices to uphold their Constitutional duty despite intimidation tactics and threats of violence. Congress should recognize this landmark decision and celebrate this win for life.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nOn June 24, 2022, in its ruling on Dobbs v. Jackson, the Supreme Court of the United States upheld the Gestational Age Act, the 2018 Mississippi law that would limit abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The ruling effectively overturned Roe v. Wade, opening up states to implement their own restrictions on abortions.\n\nLast year, the Mississippi Republican delegation in Congress led an amicus brief that outlined the legal foundation for the court to uphold the Mississippi law.\n\nCongressman Michael Guest represents Mississippi's Third Congressional District. Currently serving his second term, Congressman Guest serves as the Vice Ranking Member of the Committee on Homeland Security, as a Member of the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and as a Member of the Committee on Ethics.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:49:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://guest.house.gov/media/press-releases/guest-joins-mcclain-resolution-support-dobbs-v-jackson-decision"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.177408965304494, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
