ALBANY, NY – Mayor Kathy Sheehan has released the following statement regarding the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade:
“The Supreme Court has determined that women do not have the right to make their own health care decisions. This draconian ruling undermines reproductive freedom and will have a detrimental impact on women across the country. States have already passed laws to restrict or effectively eliminate abortion access contingent on this ruling, making it even more vital that Congress immediately pass the Women’s Health Protection Act of 2022.”
