Review Bill

“This morning, the Supreme Court decision has brought anxiety and uncertainty for many American women. For nearly 50 years, the right to make personal reproductive choices have been between a woman, her doctor, and her family. Now, three newly Trump appointed ultra conservative Justices have voted with other colleagues to overturn Roe vs Wade. I worry that this decision is not the end, but the beginning of a ultra conservative agenda to take us back to a time when discrimination and violation of American citizens rights were acceptable. The Supreme Court our highest court, must establish Justice, ensure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense and promote the general Welfare. The decision is very disappointing”
