Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization to overturn five decades of precedent and rescind protections to the constitutional right to an abortion protected by Roe v. Wade:\n\n\u201cWith this decision, the Supreme Court has disregarded nearly five decades of precedent, undermining the Constitutional and human rights of individuals to control their own bodies and destinies and to access critical care. This extreme and dangerous decision will prevent people across the country from getting the medical care they need and sets the clock back decades on human rights and gender equality. The U.S. Senate must immediately take up the Woman\u2019s Health Protection Act, which I cosponsored in the House, to codify Roe v. Wade in statute\u2014and if necessary break the filibuster to pass this urgent legislation.\n\n\u201cI want to be clear, access to abortion remains legal and available in New Mexico\u2014and those in need of care should consult with a health care provider. I will be working with my colleagues in Congress, our health care providers, and our communities to support our reproductive care system, which has been so heavily impacted and strained by the decisions of surrounding states.\n\n\u201cWhile I am outraged by this decision, I believe we must turn our anger into action. New Mexico offers a clear path forward for the country. To protect access to care, New Mexicans organized in 2021 to pass a bill to overturn an antiquated abortion ban, which I was proud to vote for in the State Legislature. Now, it\u2019s up to us to do the same nationwide and ensure we elect a pro-choice Congress that will stand with the majority of Americans and the millions who will be impacted by this decision.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T18:13:54Z"]], "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://stansbury.house.gov/media/press-releases/congresswoman-stansburys-statement-supreme-court-decision-overturning-roe"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8102101273834705, "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"}
