Take on the overturning of Roe

We knew a few months ago that this day was coming when the brief was leaked but always held out a glimmer of hope that cooler heads would prevail and precedent upheld.

Today, when it became official that Roe would be overturned, we lost more than a court ruling. We lost the soul of our country. We lost the progress that women have fought for and have moved dangerously close to the dark ages.

We allowed a couple of white men to lie to us, tell us that they believe it was settled and move to overturn a right that has stood for half a century. And people like Susan Collins and Joe Manchin are to blame because nobody in their right mind would have trusted Gorsuch or Kavanaugh when they claimed they would uphold it.
