Quotes about Richards

[edit]
  • Earlier this week, news broke that the Supreme Court, in a leaked initial draft of majority opinion, had voted to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 case in which the court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman’s liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction.
Though a final decision from the Supreme Court has not been announced, social media was filled with stunned responses, with many admitting they never thought it would even come close to happening. One person who was not shocked: Cecile Richards.
