League President Carolyn Callecod was contacted by the Tribune-Star for a response:

Today’s ruling of the overturn of Roe V. Wade has taken away a woman's constitutional fundamental right to make a decision in regard to her personal healthcare. This ruling will not end abortion but will cause an increase in dangerous, unsafe abortions. By taking away a woman’s right to her reproductive decisions over her body, she is no longer an equal individual in our democracy.
