Kamala Harris on Roe V. Wade Ruling: “This is a Healthcare Crisis”

Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that enshrined abortion rights across the United States, “was egregiously wrong from the start,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in a court opinion that based its argument upon a strict reading of the U.S. Constitution and a survey of centuries of English common law dating back to the 1200s.

“The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision,” the court held in the decision, which had previously leaked to news media in draft form.
