Statement on Supreme Court Overturning Roe v. Wade

Assemblymember Jim Wood says "Today is a very dark day in America"

For immediate release:

“Today is a very dark day in America,” said Assemblymember Jim Wood (D-Santa Rosa). “A day when we should be celebrating our constitutional protections of privacy and a woman’s right to choose is clouded by a Supreme Court decision that eviscerates that federal protection and tragically opens up the possibility that other rights will be challenged in the future. California will continue to protect those rights and will support oppressed women in other states if they need our help to make their own health care decisions.”
