Fedorchak celebrates 3-year anniversary of Dobbs decision on the House Floor

Washington, D.C. – In a speech marking the third anniversary of the Supreme Court's historic Dobbs decision, Congresswoman Julie Fedorchak (R-ND) highlighted the importance of honoring every life, supporting women, and strengthening families. Fedorchak emphasized every life—born and unborn—has value, and for America to be a more perfect union, our laws must reflect that. 

Check out her remarks below: 

 I rise today as a pro-life mom of three. 

Today marks three years since the Supreme Court made history with the Dobbs decision.  

This was a really important moment that returned the power to protect life back to the people through their elected representatives in each state. 

That’s where these decisions belong.  

As we mark this anniversary, I am filled with hope.  

Hope that we can continue building a culture where life is honored, women are supported, and families are strengthened. 

It is my heartfelt belief that abortion should never be anyone’s first—or only—option.   

Every woman deserves to know that there is help, there is hope, and there is a path forward.   

A beautiful path forward that supports life  

The Dobbs decision was more than a legal victory—it was a renewed call to answer the greatest human rights question of our time.  

Every life—born and unborn—has value and dignity. 

I was very touched two weeks ago when one of my constituents, Jay Rienke from Lutherans for Life—he lives in Rugby, North Dakota—visited my office right here in D.C.

He left me with a simple, fun, but poignant reminder about the pro-life movement, and it really sums it up very well: this is Horton from ‘Horton Hears a Who.’  

Horton’s main philosophy was this: “A person’s a person, no matter how small.” 

For America to be a more perfect union, our laws must reflect that. 

So, let’s keep standing together to build a country where no woman feels alone, no child is unwanted, and every life is seen as a gift.  

Thank you, Congressman Smith, I yield back.
