WE REMEMBER
This week marks one year since the ability of women across this Nation to control their fate was assaulted by the very Court dedicated to protecting the rights of every citizen. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe vs, Wade made women in America 2nd class citizens.
One year ago, Indian River County Democratic Party Chair William C. Evans said, "The repercussions of the ruling will be life-threatening and put women at risk of resorting to back-alley abortions, infections, and even death." And sadly, it has.
In April of this year, Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis signed into law a bill approved by the Republican-dominated Florida Legislature to ban abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. The new six-week ban is contingent, in part, on whether the Florida Supreme Court upholds the 15-week restriction.
In response to the activist Supreme Court reversing a nearly 50-year precedent taking legal rights away from women, Americans are calling for an expansion of the Court. Our democracy must advance fairness, justice, and equality. At its best, the Supreme Court has defended these ideals, but we can no longer ignore that it has become too political and too powerful.
