When news broke on Monday night that the Supreme Court was likely to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 legal decision that has long protected the right to abortion in the U.S., it was difficult to know what to do or how to feel. We’ve already seen near-total abortion bans in Texas and Oklahoma over the last few months—despite the fact that most Americans actually support abortion rights—but reading a leaked draft of the Supreme Court’s decision was gutting.
I, for one, have found myself frustrated with the responses of politicians, whose entreaty to those concerned about losing abortion rights has been to “just vote.” Not only is that not so easy—around the country, voting rights are in peril—but it is hardly a foregone conclusion that voting for Democrats will safeguard the right to choose, especially when we have a Democrat in the highest office in the land right now, as all of this is playing out.
What I really want to see is my rage and sorrow reflected and magnified by the people I’ve elected to represent me in office, and that’s exactly what I got on Tuesday, when Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren addressed a crowd of pro-choice protestors outside of the Supreme Court.
