Rep. Jim Olsen, R-Roland, today released the below statement after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned of Roe v. Wade on Friday.
"We rejoice that Roe v. Wade has been overturned. The prayers from God's people for many years have been answered!
Roe v. Wade was a flawed and unconstitutional decision to begin with. Now the decisions are properly left to the sovereignty of the states, and many states will chose to protect innocent life.
To God to be the glory!"
Olsen was the House author of Senate Bill 612, which was signed in April. The law prohibits the performance of an abortion or attempt to perform an abortion except to save the life of a pregnant woman in a medical emergency.
Olsen also authored House Bill 1102, passed during the 2021 legislative session. The bill directs the Board of Medical Licensure and Supervision and the State Board of Osteopathic Examiners to revoke the licenses of physicians who perform abortions for at least one year. The bill provides an exception for abortions performed to save the life of the mother.
