Cleveland Right to Life held a press conference and "celebratory reception" on Friday as the anti-abortion group rejoiced the decision by the United States Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade nearly 50 years after it was first decided.
“The decision by the Supreme Court today is long overdue and removes a 50 year fabricated “right” that ignored the personhood of the unborn child,” noted Cleveland Right to Life President Molly Smith. “While this decision does not end abortion in our nation, it makes it more likely that unborn children will be treated as human beings and be afforded the same rights as their mothers and fathers.”
The Supreme Court's decision came down Friday morning. Roe had guaranteed the right to an abortion, but today's ruling returns the issue to state legislatures, and Ohio could be poised to have some of the strictest restrictions in the nation against the practice.
“While we applaud this decision, our work is far from over,” the organization continued. “Cleveland Right to Life will continue its fight to protect our most vulnerable citizens from pre-birth to natural death. To that end, we urge Ohio lawmakers to enact the most stringent laws possible to protect human life in the womb and provide hope and assistance for their mothers.”
