Dahm releases statement on overturning of Roe v. Wade

OKLAHOMA CITY – State Sen. Nathan Dahm, R-Broken Arrow, released the following statement after the release of the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.

“I praise God for this incredible victory in the fight to protect the unborn. The Supreme Court has overruled the abomination of Roe v. Wade and returned the issue of abortion to the states. Unfortunately, this means the fight to protect the unborn is not over. We cannot rest.

“Thankfully, countless individuals across the state of Oklahoma did not wait for the Supreme Court, but chose to take a stand for life by helping to pass bills like Senate Bill 612, HB 4327 and others.

“The Declaration of Independence states that our rights come from our Creator, that among those rights is the right to life, and that governments are instituted to secure those rights. Those of us in elected office have a responsibility to defend the rights of the people. That is what I have done from my first day in office, and that is what I will continue to do as long as I have the pleasure of serving the people of the state of Oklahoma.”
