Statement from Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Supreme Court Ruling on Texas Abortion Law

Mayor's Press Office    312.744.3334

Today’s Supreme Court ruling marks a victory for women’s health and reproductive rights throughout the United States. The harsh restrictions imposed by the Texas abortion law would have limited access to quality healthcare for women and stymied progress in the ongoing struggle for reproductive rights. Every woman should have the basic human right to make decisions about her health and well-being – regardless of where she lives. Today’s decision by the Supreme Court upholds this fundamental American right and value.
