What SCOTUS stripped from women

Friend,A woman’s right to choose should not depend on where she lives.  For nearly 50 years, Roe v. Wade protected reproductive choice nationwide. But on this day in 2022, the radical, conservative majority on the Supreme Court stripped away those protections in the landmark decision Dobbs v. Jackso…
