On this day in history, Jan. 22, 1973, Supreme Court issues its landmark Roe v. Wade decisionOn this day in history, Jan. 22, 1973, the Supreme Court made its decision in the historic abortion regulation court case — Roe v. Wade. The 7-2 ruling stood for nearly 50 years. I'm glad that this day stands out - as the wrong way to do things. The Dems, frustrated in not being able to pass a law in Congress, to properly enact such a significant action, went to the SC and talked them into doing what they couldn't. On this day that doesn’t mean shit anymore And we wiped our asses with it last year!

After Roe v. Wade, nationwide Women's Marches focus on state-level fight for abortion rightsAbortion rights activists have marched on Jan. 22 each year since 1973, when the Supreme Court decision first granted federal protections for abortion rights. But Sunday, activists are also mourning the ruling after it was overturned last year. It’s still legal to kill you baby in utero in all 50 states. Nothing changed. Abortion still legal. You are misinformation. Made all the more tragic because that verdict was bought and paid for.
