“Mr. President, on June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, returning the question of abortion to the States and to the people and their elected representatives. The Supreme Court's decision was an affirmation of democracy, which had been set aside by Roe in favor of a national abortion regime imposed upon the entire country by a handful of activist Justices.

The Supreme Court's decision puts the question of abortion back in the hands of the States and the people and their elected representatives, where it should always have been. I am profoundly grateful for this decision, most especially because of what is at stake here, because the Roe decision was not a failure of constitutional jurisprudence on some arcane point; it was a failure that infringed on our most fundamental rights as human beings--in fact, on the fundamental right: the right to life. Roe not only allowed for but imposed a regime that forced States to legalize the killing of unborn human beings. So the decision to overturn Roe not only affirms democracy and repairs a constitutional wrong, it allows for the righting of a profound moral wrong: the legal killing of unborn Americans.…”
