SAN DIEGO Mayor Todd Gloria issued the following statement on the 6-3 Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade:

This is a dark day for our nation. The Supreme Court has failed in its core duty to provide equal justice under the law. A womans right to reproductive freedom, including abortion, has been recognized for half a century and now is being rolled back by Justices who are catering to the countrys right-wing extremists. I am outraged and horrified but undeterred.

Here in California and in San Diego, I pledge to do everything within my power to preserve reproductive freedom and the privacy rights every American should be able to enjoy.
