Statement on Supreme Court Decision

Today, as the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Portland City Commissioner Carmen Rubio issued the following statement:

We all saw it coming and now it's here. Today I'm profoundly disappointed in the Supreme Court, and deeply saddened for the millions of lives this decision impacts — especially women of color and rural women. I am grateful we live in a state that upholds women's right to choose and affirms their agency over their own bodies. I am committed to supporting fellow elected leaders and abortion advocates on how we continue to protect this right in Oregon — for all who come here to get abortion health care.
