Washington state representative hopes ‘we see our state move in a similar direction’
Rep. Vicki Kraft
Republican, Vancouver
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled Friday, 6-3, to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that established a constitutional right to abortions during the first two trimesters of pregnancy. The new ruling now gives individual state legislatures the ability to set their own abortion laws.
Following the ruling, Rep. Vicki Kraft, R-Vancouver, a strong pro-life advocate, issued this statement:
“I’m very pleased to see the U.S. Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade and make the decision to protect the life of unborn babies. This is a decision that has been long overdue in our nation. I previously co-sponsored House Bill 2154 (2019-20) and House Bill 1679 (2021-22) to work to protect the life of babies inside their mother’s womb. As a result of the court ruling, I hope we see our state move in a similar direction.”
