“Our work to restore the right of women to determine and access their own care must continue. I’ll never back down from this fight because women should be able to make their own health care decisions.”

Warnock also said that he believed that the ruling was a “misguided decision” that will be “devastating for women and families in Georgia and nationwide.”
