Smith Statement on SCOTUS Ruling

Washington, D.C. – Rep. Adrian Smith (R-NE) released the following statement after the Supreme Court of the United States issued their Dobbs v. Jackson decision:

"Life is a miracle that begins at conception. While today's decision is a win for the pro-life movement, our work does not end here. We must ensure states – which are now rightfully tasked with authority over abortion – have the resources needed to restore a culture that respects and values life by supporting at-risk mothers, fathers, and children.

"I am deeply troubled by the leak of this decision earlier this spring and by the ongoing threats to sitting Supreme Court Justices. Violence is not and will never be the answer. I hope the law-breaking radicals – and the groups encouraging violence – will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."
