On this day in 1973, the Supreme Court issued a decision that enshrined the constitutional right to an abortion in the landmark case Roe v. Wade. But with mounting attacks on abortion rights and the most conservative Supreme Court in modern history, states across the country have spent the 47th year of Roe scrambling to protect a women’s right to choose in the increasingly plausible event that the historic court decision is soon overturned. “The reality is that the balance of the Supreme Court is not in our favor,” says Bonyen Lee-Gilmore, who works on state media campaigns for Planned Parenthood, adding, “We have to be prepared [if] Roe falls.

Sadly it looks like the evangelicals were the ones that pushed Johnson to finally put the bill up for a vote, not Trump. Here's Graham responding to his fellow Senator JD Vance's criticism of the bill on this weekend's Fox News Sunday: GRAHAM: So this idea, give up on Ukraine, makes the world safer, if you pull the plug on Ukraine because you don't have enough capability, there goes Taiwan.
