State Representative Adam Niemerg (R-Dieterich) issued the following statement on word last night that the U.S. Supreme Court may be ready to issue a decision written by Justice Samuel Alito, that will overturn the case used to permit abortion in America for over 50 years:
“We need to have a judicial branch in America that is not subject to the political whims and rhetoric of campaigns through leaked reports of possible decisions, but is focused on the Constitution, our rights and responsibilities, and that every life has value in our country. I am cautiously hopeful that the speculation is accurate that the Court may overturn that decision on actual Constitutional grounds. This is a monumental decision and would place the decision back on to the states so we have tremendous amount of work to do here in the State of Illinois.”
