Following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, AG Ken Paxton has named June 24 'Sanctity of Life Day' in Texas.
PUBLISHED 11:04 AM CDT Jun. 24, 2022Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has declared June 24 — the day the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade — an annual agency holiday to be known as Sanctity of Life Day.
“Roe v. Wade and its successor case Planned Parenthood v. Casey have absolutely no basis in the U.S. Constitution,” Paxton said in a statement after the opinion. “Nevertheless, for half a century, Americans have had to live under these illegitimate, illegal and unconstitutional dictates of a partisan, willful Supreme Court.”
“Abortions will not end, because women have to have them to survive,” Hays said. “We also have locally elected attorneys who are not going to enforce prosecutions.”
