Make no mistake: the five Supreme Court justices who voted to overturn Roe v. Wade unleashed a radical attack on women and the U.S. Constitution. It was the sort of attack that can only be met with a radical response, if our liberties are to survive. It will in all likelihood produce a response never seen in modern feminist history.
The dissenting opinion put it starkly: “[The Court] says that from the moment of fertilization a woman has no rights to speak of.” It also stated: “Rescinding an individual right in its entirety and conferring it on the State, an action the Court takes today for the first time in history, affects all who have relied on our constitutional system of government and its structure of individual liberties protected from state oversight.”
