Washington, D.C. — House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) today issued the following statement regarding the one-year anniversary of the United States Supreme Court’s landmark ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson

“The Dobbs decision has been a renewed call to answer the greatest human rights question of our generation by affirming the dignity and value of every person. As a nation, we must come together to make sure women and their babies have the care they need at every stage of life. That is why I support pregnancy centers that provide medical care, resources, education, and mentoring to women. These centers are doing the loving work of helping women find the hope and stability they need to choose life. 

“Every life is worth living. One year after the Supreme Court affirmed this, I continue to ask Democrats to abandon their extreme position for abortion with no limits at any stage of pregnancy. Their pro-abortion agenda cannot be the law of the land.  

“Every person—born and unborn—has human rights. For America to be a more perfect union, our laws must reflect that.”
