Congressman Issa Issues Statement on Supreme Court Roe v. Wade Decision

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Darrell Issa (CA-50) issued the following statement:

“Today is a great day for the cause and the principle of life.
 
"A clear majority of the Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States appropriately upheld its core purpose in our structure of self-governance: To discharge their duties faithfully and impartially under the Constitution. This is always the right way and the best way for the High Court to function.
 
"Judges hold a most precious power. They must be independent. They must interpret our laws. They must not make laws or rewrite laws. Judges must interpret our statutes as written. They must interpret the Constitution as written.
 
"I will always stand for life. And I will always support and defend our Constitution."
