STATEMENT OF BOB HEALEY Re: SCOTUS Decision Overturning Roe V. Wade

MOORESTOWN, NJ— Local businessowner and candidate for Congress Bob Healey today issued the following statement:

“Today’s decision was expected and, despite the scare tactics my opponent will promote, it changes nothing regarding New Jersey law.  My position on this issue is clear and it is mainstream: I am personally pro-life, while believing that women should have the legal right to an abortion in cases of rape or incest, or if continuing to term could threaten the woman’s life.

The only person in this race with extreme views on abortion is Congressman Andy Kim, who sides with Governor Murphy and other radicals in his party who believe in expanded access to late-term abortions, long after a baby is viable and could live a healthy life outside the womb, and that 15-year-old girls seeking an abortion should not have to notify their parents first.  Those are extreme positions and Andy Kim should have to explain why he holds them.”
