Fifty years ago, Roe v. Wade was decided and has been the law of the land since then.
This landmark case protected a woman's right to choose, her right to make intensely personal decisions with her doctor, free from ... interference of politics.
It reaffirmed basic principles of equality - that women have the power to control their own destiny. And it reinforced the fundamental right of privacy - the right of each of us to choose how to live our lives.
Now, with Roe gone, let's be very clear: The health and life of women in this nation are now at risk.
