'I wish I could say this is a temporary situation and that it will change, either at the state or federal level, but I don’t see that happening, perhaps in my lifetime,' writes Robert Gehrke in his latest column on the reversal of Roe v. Wade.
But that doesn’t matter. Now the party that has only won the presidential popular vote once in 36 years has managed to stack the Supreme Court with young, strident conservatives who will likely shape the direction of the court for decades.
I wish I could say we have the tools to make this ruling less devastating. We can offer better sex education, access to contraception, availability of Plan B, resources for adoption, and support for mothers and their children after birth and it will never eliminate circumstances where abortions become necessary.
History has also shown us there will be those instances where women will find a way to end a pregnancy, even if it means risking their own lives.
