On Monday night, Politico reported that the Supreme Court will soon overturn Roe v. Wade. If Supreme Court
news is true Congress must act immediately to codify Roe v. Wade protections as the law of the land.
Arizona is one of those states severely at risk if Roe v. Wade is overturned. Not only did Arizona recently pass a ban modeled after the Mississippi law the draft opinion in the news is about, but there is a law on the books since the early 1960s that bans abortion.
While we wait to see if Congress will do their job, we must be ready on the local level with services to help our families that will be harmed by this draconian law.
If I was your Councilwoman, I would have already convened meetings with my colleagues, business leaders and organizations to formulate a plan.
You must be able to depend on your Councilmember
to be proactive, especially when we are alerted to the danger coming at us.
