Note to the Press – State Rep. Chris Judy (R-Fort Wayne) issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court reversing its decision on Roe v. Wade and returning the issue of abortion back to the states. Judy said he expects state legislators to take action to further protect life when they return to the Statehouse for a special session. Gov. Eric Holcomb recently announced his call for lawmakers to reconvene on July 6 and provide $1 billion in inflation relief to Hoosier taxpayers due to higher-than-expected revenue collections. Details of the special session have not yet been announced. Updates will be posted to the Indiana General Assembly's website at iga.in.gov.
STATEHOUSE (June 24, 2022) – "This historic ruling abolishes 50 years of states not being able to decide what's right for their people, and that justly ended today. I look forward to returning to the Statehouse soon, so we can take immediate action and save lives."
