We are forced to carry on a fight that should have been settled long ago.
John,
We knew this was coming, yet it’s still shocking. Last night, Politico published a leaked document revealing that the Republican-controlled Supreme Court has already voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. Make no mistake: this is a crisis and our worst fears coming true.
I am angry that generations of women fought tirelessly to secure access to abortion and now my daughter’s generation is seeing these protections erased. We are forced to carry on a fight that should have been settled long ago.
This decision is a stark reminder that elections have consequences. After winning in 2016, Donald Trump and Republicans built the 6-3 conservative majority on the Supreme Court for exactly this reason. Democrats may have narrow majorities in Congress and a Democrat in the White House, but right now it’s not enough to stop the extreme Supreme Court majority.
