TRUMP PRAISES SUPREME COURT DECISION OVERTURNING ROE V. WADE, SAYS RULING ‘WILL WORK OUT FOR EVERYBODY’

REP. MAYRA FLORES: This is a dream come true for me, for South Texas. In South Texas, we're pro-life, somos provida. So this was a big win for us in South Texas, but also for our country. And we have to start respecting life. We have to start valuing life. And the reason why I believe we have so much crime in our country is because we stopped respecting life. And if we start focusing and raising our children to value life in the womb, I really do believe that this would help us decrease crime in our country. And again, this was a big win for us, especially in South Texas, because we are big pro-life.
