May 2, 2022, AUSTIN, Texas — Human Coalition Director of Public Policy Chelsey Youman issued the following statement on Monday, following reports of a leaked draft opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization currently before the Supreme Court:
“The draft Supreme Court opinion leaked tonight represents a constitutionally principled and powerful opinion. The Court would courageously fulfill its duty to uphold the Constitution by dismantling Roe v. Wade once and for all. As Roe lawlessly removed the issue of abortion from its rightful place, with the American people. With this opinion, the people would once again be given the authority to protect human life in the womb. Until final, we must continue to pray for the Court’s formal opinion in Dobbs.
“If real, this leak is also a shameless, desperate attempt to politicize the Court before a final decision is issued. If it were to be successful, the Supreme Court would be nothing more than a weathervane of public opinion.
“America is ready for this moment to see Roe overturned. Over the last 50 years of legal abortion, government programs and charitable non-profits established a robust infrastructure to support and help mothers in need. More than 2,700 pro-life organizations across the country empower women considering abortion to choose life by offering tangible services to address their needs.
