INTRODUCTION OF PROPOSED RESOLUTIONS AND ASSIGNMENT TO COMMITTEE
A motion was made by Crystal Williams, seconded by Tony Miller, to adopt
Resolution #21007, in support of abortion rights and other reproductive
rights and in opposition to the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Dobbs v.
Jackson Women’s Health Organization and urging federal elected officials
to codify abortion rights and other reproductive rights. The motion passed by
a roll call vote:
Yes: 5 -
Jalen Anderson, Crystal Williams, Tony Miller, Scott Burnett and
Ronald E. Finley
No: 2 - Dan Tarwater III and Jeanie Lauer
Abstain: 1 - Charlie Franklin
Absent: 1 - Theresa Cass Galvin
(ADOPTED)
Tony Miller said he is supporting this resolution because he must face the
four women in his household that have expressed concerns about getting
the health care they need. Jalen Anderson said although Jackson County
is not a state or federal government, the Supreme Court created a tension
throughout the county in which the state is telling people what they can and
cannot do with their bodies, whether an issue is medically necessary or
because of a sexual assault. These actions by the government are a
dangerous overreach. Tony Miller said this resolution is germane to
Jackson County because the County provides health insurance plans.
Crystal Williams, County Legislator, said she introduced this resolution
because of concerns expressed by her constituents. Ronald E. Finley said
Roe v. Wade has been consistently upheld for 50 years. Signing on as a
co-sponsor speaks for itself.
