"Senator, I cannot say I’m disappointed with the Supreme Court decision. I feel you may need more education on abortion rights. Katrina, I don’t think you know what women went through in the seventies. We had a mantra no more than coat hangers. Girls from Grambling and LA Tech were sewed-up and treated by allegedly 'Green Clinic' in Ruston, LA. Some did not make it. They would let nothing stand in the way of getting an education. We were all elated when Roe v. Wade became law. I wonder sometimes what your grandmother would think of your bil...

Born in the 80s, I can honestly say I have had great childhood and coming-of-age experiences that spanned across significant decades. My house is musical, and I remember things like records and a record player, but the portable cassette player stood out to me most. I remember the yellow Walkman my dad wore as a symbol of pride and significance. I even remember my dad purchasing one each for my brothers and me and being bummed when I broke a button or lost my headphones. Then along came the cd player!

After all, the Court is 6-3 conservative which means just about any cases before the Court involving “individual liberties” such as religion or other “moral” issues, will likely be ruled...
