Today, Congressman Mike Lawler slammed the Supreme Court’s decision to let stand a decision barring emergency abortions.

“When the life or health of an expectant mother is at risk during a pregnancy, there is no question that she should be allowed to receive a safe and legal abortion. Period. Full stop,” said Congressman Lawler. 

“I do not and will not support any efforts to establish a national abortion ban, whether it be through Congress or the judicial system,” concluded Congressman Lawler. “The Supreme Court’s decision today is appalling and contradicts prior rulings.”

Congressman Lawler is one of the most bipartisan members of the 118th Congress and represents New York's 17th Congressional District, which is just north of New York City and contains all or parts of Rockland, Putnam, Dutchess, and Westchester Counties.
