Jackson Decision | 2022-06-24 | 2022 | 2022-06 | Republican | House | IL | Darin LaHood | L000585 | lahood.house.gov | lahood | https://lahood.house.gov/press-releases | scraper | Washington, D.C. – Congressman Darin LaHood (IL-18) released the following statement on the Supreme Court's decision on the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization: "As a father of three and Pro-Life advocate, I applaud the Supreme Court's decision in the Dobbs case, returning the question of abortion to the states and to the people. In Congress, I stood proudly with the growing Pro-Life movement to advocate for the Supreme Court to reconsider Roe v. Wade, and this decision is a huge victory for the sanctity of life. "Democrats in Washington and Illinois, including President Biden, Speaker Pelosi, and Governor Pritzker have spent years seeking to undermine and delegitimize our independent judiciary. In the weeks since the unprecedented leak of Justice Alito's opinion, we have seen attacks on pro-family crisis pregnancy centers, disruptions of church services, and an assassination attempt on Justice Kavanaugh and his family. The Dobbs decision, in the face of violence, is a win for our independent judiciary and the Constitution. "Governor Pritzker continues to push his radical abortion agenda in Illinois, which includes late-term and taxpayer-funded abortion, restrictions on conscience protections, and limits on parental involvement. The Governor's policies are widely outside the mainstream. I will continue to lend a voice to the voiceless and push to enact Pro-Life protections that uphold the sanctity of life and support mothers and families." | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T02:39:01Z |
