  • "On this day 51 years ago, Roe v. Wade protected the bodily autonomy of women. Since the Trump-controlled Supreme Court overturned that decision, women lost that autonomy and right to privacy. I am committed to protecting access to abortion, and I will not stop until we restore access, codify Roe, and protect reproductive freedom for future generations." (x.com)
