The Supreme Court ruled on Friday to overturn Roe w. Wade, which completely shocked the country.

“This is one of the most important decisions the Supreme Court has handed down in this century.” Kate Shaw, an ABC News contributor and professor of law at Cardozo Law School said. ” I believe this will definitely have a seismic impact on women’s lives and the choices they can make in the course of the country.”
