The Biggest Story of the Summer and What it Means

Over 35 years ago, feminist icon and renowned Supreme Court Justice, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, had already made clear her thoughts that the historic judgement of the Roe V. Wade case was weak and faulty on a constitutional basis and would probably be overturned as “bad law” even though she was a vocal supporter of the outcome. When it comes down to it, the Supreme Court’s decision this past summer to overturn that ruling was built on that same thought. According to RBG and many others before and after her, the 1973 case was constitutionally unfounded based on the arguments made, which is why almost 50 years later, the ruling was overturned. Regardless of any of our personal beliefs or preferences, those are the facts. Understandably, the media was a firestorm of outrage and fear as many around the country didn’t know what this turn of events meant for them.
