Rep. Veasey Statement on Supreme Court Decision on Women’s Health

June 27, 2016

Congressman Marc Veasey, TX-33, released the following statement after the Supreme Court struck down Texas’ HB2 law, ruling abortion clinic restrictions unconstitutional:

“Today’s Supreme Court ruling reaffirms that a woman’s reproductive choices are deeply personal in nature and should only rest with a woman, her physician, and the family and friends she chooses to consult. After today’s ruling, Texas Republicans should no longer play political games with women’s health. Instead, they must work across the aisle to expand health care services for Americans throughout the nation – not actively work to restrict their medical choices. It is time for Republicans to cease their fruitless fight against women’s health, and get to the important job of governing.”
