San Diego leaders and residents took to the streets Tuesday to rally against SCOTUS potentially overturning Roe v. Wade.
SAN DIEGO – Local and state Democratic officials are vowing to protect abortion rights in response to a report that the U.S. Supreme Court is poised to overturn the landmark protections offered by the Roe v. Wade decision that has dictated policy on the issue since 1973.
Chief Justice John Roberts reiterated that point Tuesday, saying the draft “does not represent a decision by the court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case.”“Make no mistake, if Roe v. Wade is overturned, women will be harmed and some will die,” Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-California, tweeted Tuesday morning. “It happened before Roe became law of the land and it will happen again, particularly since this decision will harm low-income and at-risk women more than anyone.
“Our daughters, sisters, mothers and grandmothers will not be silenced,” Gov. Gavin Newsom tweeted. “The world is about to hear their fury. California will not sit back. We are going to fight like hell.” “We know we can’t trust the Supreme Court to protect reproductive rights, so California will build a firewall around this right in our state constitution,” the statement said. “Women will remain protected here.”
