O’Rourke issues statement on Supreme Court decision

HOUSTON Democratic gubernatorial nominee Beto O’Rourke released the following statement on Friday morning in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

“The only way to overcome today’s decision is to win this race for governor.

“The Supreme Court has sent this back to the states, and our state’s current governor has outlawed abortion beginning at conception with no exception for rape or incest.

“If you care about protecting a woman’s freedom to make her own decisions about her own body, health care, and future, join this campaign and help us win.”
