Gov. Ron DeSantis responds to SCOTUS overturning Roe v. Wade

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis today issued a statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization that overturns Roe v. Wade. The prayers of millions have been answered," DeSantis said via Twitter.

By properly interpreting the Constitution, the Dobbs majority has restored the people's role in our republic and a sense of hope that every life counts.
