SALT LAKE CITY — Utah leaders are reacting to the decision by the U.S. Supreme Court, made public today, to overturn the landmark abortion case, Roe V. Wade. This decision by the Supreme Court will have devastating consequences nationwide, particularly for women of color and low-income women. I am thrilled with today’s Supreme Court ruling overturning Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court of the United States has overturned the wrongly decided Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey. While the 63 million lives lost to abortion since Roe can never be reclaimed, we can take heart that the Supreme Court has recognized that Roe v. Wade and its progeny belong next to Plessy v. Ferguson and Dred Scott v. Sandford in the anti canon of Supreme Court history.
