The legal and political fallout after Roe

We finally have the decision in Roe v. Wade. and as we expected from the leaked opinion in May, the Court has overturned Roe and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, striking down a woman’s right to abortion. This case, known as Dobbs versus Jackson Women’s Health, will functionally remove a right for more than half of the population … something unheard of in American history.
