spoke to the washington post on the condition that only her first name the used to protect her privacy, was 30 minutes away from the clinic when she got the call, stopped at a red light, as soon as she heard the news, she said, she broke down crying, trying to figure out what she would do now. texas is just one of 26 states that are certain or likely to ban abortion care in the coming days and months, according to the institute, the research and policy organization that advocates for reproductive health and rights. half of those states have also had trigger laws which take effect automatically now that roe v. wade has been overturned. and, in nine of those dates, the bands have already gone into effect. and there s enormous erosion of civil rights, ushered in by a disconnected conservative majority supreme court, will only be the beginning. as protests across the country look to the streets yesterday, many voiced their worries about what other rights might be taken away. take a liste
about what is at stake for women s rights. and now, one of the reasons that oftentimes is part of the controversy, is why is the supreme court meddling in our business? going into something that is a medical procedure? take a listen to a rally last night with congresswoman mary miller. what you said, the quiet part out loud. i want to stress to the audience, she did take back those remarks. but take a listen, i want you to hear what she said, and the crowd s response to what she said. trump, on behalf of all of the patriots in america, i want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the supreme court yesterday.
