VIDEO: Senator Marshall Celebrates the Third Anniversary of the Dobbs Decision
Washington – On Tuesday, the third anniversary of the United States Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. (R-Kansas), released the following video praising their decision to allow states to be free to stand up for their values and the defense of life.
The fight for life is never over, and this week the Senate will vote on the reconciliation bill, which will deliver the largest pro-life wins since the Dobbs decision: a 10-year prohibition on federal Medicaid funding from going toward abortion providers who receive more than $800,000 in taxpayer dollars. The largest target of this prohibition would be Planned Parenthood, which receives $2 million a day in taxpayer funding while performing 400,000 abortions annually.

“Good morning from the steps of the Supreme Court. Three years ago today, the landmark Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade.
“For nearly half a century, Roe imposed a one-size-fits-all mandate denying states the freedom to reflect their communities’ values. Dobbs changed all that, restoring power to Kansans and Americans nationwide to protect life.
“This victory was made possible by the bold leadership of President Trump, who promised to defend the unborn and who appointed justices to uphold that commitment.
“As an OBGYN, I had the privilege and honor to deliver over 5,000 babies. Protecting life has always been my calling, long before I ever stepped foot in DC.
“Now, since Dobbs, the pro-life movement has surged forward: states have passed laws safeguarding the unborn, and crisis pregnancy centers have expanded, providing hope, counseling, and resources to nearly 800,000 women last year alone.
“But our work is far from done. This week, the Senate takes [up] the President’s reconciliation bill – a historic moment for the pro-life cause. This legislation includes the most significant pro-life victory since Dobbs: a 10-year ban on Federal Medicaid funding for abortion providers receiving over $800,000 in taxpayer money.
“Now, who is the primary target? Planned Parenthood, who pockets over $2 million daily. They perform over 4,000 abortions each day, over a third of all abortions across America.
“When President Trump signs this bill into law, we will defund America’s largest abortion provider, striking a powerful blow for the unborn.
“The fight to protect life never ends. Today, on the anniversary of Dobbs, I am proud to stand here, just steps from the Supreme Court, and carry this battle forward across the street, on Capitol Hill.”
