A historically tragic day for America.

Rep. Lee Snodgrass
“The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.”

The Supreme Court just struck down Roe v. Wade. There is no reason to put women in danger and take us back in time. Congress needs to act now, enough wasting time.

Today will be remembered as one of the darkest days in the history of SCOTUS—women will die as a result of this destructive decision by these Trumpian justices.

Speaker Robin Vos
I agree with the justices in their opinion when they say, "The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives."

We know what politicians want because it's already happening: to ban abortion state by state—& eventually a national ban. But, like generations before us, we'll fight for each other. If you or someone you know needs an abortion, reach out: 1-800-230-Plan & https://t.co/ZBxEk2YkFJ

Green Bay Mayor Eric Genrich
Solidarity with those whose rights were taken today and with those whose freedoms are so clearly in jeopardy. Mourn today and organize tomorrow for a future that’s free for all. https://t.co/uE9Ermd5B8

Sen. Kelda Roys
Five conservative extremists have traded the US Supreme Court’s legitimacy and the legal personhood of women for their own selfish crusade to impose their narrow religious views on an unwilling nation.

Rep. Mark Spreitzer
Today’s ruling is horrific. Millions of Americans have lost their rights. I ask my Republican colleagues: "what will you do now?"

Rep. Greta Neubauer
Let’s call this what it is: a brazen, political act that rolls back essential human rights.

Let me be clear: we will not stop fighting for access to comprehensive healthcare, including abortion. While today hurts, we will not be deterred in our pursuit of reproductive rights. pic.twitter.com/laIogJHj3s
Rep. Ron Tusler
The "Dobbs v. Jackson" decision by SCOTUS has returned the issue of abortion back to people's elected representatives. Consequently, abortion is now regulated by the states, and no longer by nine unelected judges. pic.twitter.com/ur7NbHgGQl

Rep. Dianne Hesselbein
Now more than ever it is vital that we end WI’s archaic 1849 criminal abortion ban. It is absolutely shameful that on Wednesday, my Republican colleagues ignored the will of the people of Wisconsin and tossed aside the Gov’s call for a special session on reproductive freedom.

Some anti-abortion rights groups, like Pro-Life Wisconsin, want to alter a provision in the state's near-complete abortion ban that allows abortions for when it's necessary to save the mother's life.
