roe versus wade decision. before anti-abortion activists, it s a victory that s been decades in the making, but for supporters of abortion rights, it is a devastating setback. at the white house, president joe biden lashed out at the court s decision. it s a sad day for the court and for the country. now with roe gone, let s be very clear, the health and life of women in this nation are now at risk. it was three justices named by one president, donald trump, who are the core of today s decision to upend the scales of justice and eliminate a fundamental right for women in this country. so top democrats also blasted the bill, including senator elizabeth warren and vice president kamala harris. for nearly 50 years we have talked about what roe v. wade protects. today, as of right now, as of this minute, we can only talk about what roe v. wade protected. past tense. roe is dead, but the supreme court extremists do not get the last word. we are here because we will make
