Klobuchar Statement on the Second Anniversary of the Supreme Court Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar issued the statement below on the second anniversary of the Supreme Court's 2022 decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, overturning Roe v. Wade.

"Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade two years ago, women have been at the mercy of a patchwork of laws. One third of women of reproductive age now live under extreme and dangerous bans, doctors are threatened with prosecution for just doing their jobs, and the miracle of IVF could be taken away from millions of families. This may be our current reality, but it doesn't have to be our future. That is why I am fighting to codify the protections of Roe v. Wade into law. This cannot be a country where our daughters have fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers."
