Now, under a Democratic president and a Democrat-controlled Congress, people with uteruses will have markedly less protection and fewer rights than their parents and grandparents. Wade would be next on the chopping block.
GOP-controlled State Legislatures have been chipping away at abortion rights for decades and activists warned us that Roe v. While the situation is still somewhat fluid: The news is absolutely abysmal.

If you are out here saying “marriage equality is next” please do keep in mind that at least one state has made care for trans youth a felony right now and is currently in court defending that law.

And far from bringing about a national settlement of the abortion issue, Roe and Casey have enflamed debate and deepened division. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences. Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. There are a lot of terrible things written by Alito in the decision-like characterizing pro-choice supporters as eugenicists-but here’s just a taste: Alito comes off as an absolute turd: The decision would rule in favor Mississippi, which attempted to ban most abortions after 15 weeks, and overturn a ruling made by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
