In Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the Supreme Court has now held that the Roe was wrongly decided, explaining in exhausting thoroughness how there is no provision of the Constitution which can rationally be shown to establish the right to obtain an abortion.

Jackson Women’s Health captured the attention of the nation on social media and the networks, and talk of the reaction has inundated the entire news cycle ever since.
