2020 MBE alums Danielle Pacia and Beatrice L. Brown comment on the leaked draft of the Supreme Court’s majority opinion to overturn Roe v. Wade.
"Over the last decade, during which we came into adulthood, we have been troubled by how women’s bodies in the abortion debate have been repeatedly appropriated for political fodder and debate. With the release of the draft Supreme Court opinion, it felt as if a dam had finally broken, confirming many of our worst fears. The decision, if it is final, will cast a blow to reproductive freedom, restricting abortion through state-level legislation and making safe abortion far more difficult to obtain."
