I'm very happy to see that the United States Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade. Praise the name of Jesus. I honestly can't think of anything more evil than murdering a baby while it's in the womb of its mother. The states can now each legislate their own laws on abortion. While this is a great day for the USA, I think it would've been even better if the Supreme Court would have taken it a step further and made it AGAINST THE LAW to murder an unborn baby. This MOMENTUS ruling is directly related to the 2016 election of President Donald J. Trump. Well, that's my thoughts on the matter. Thank you, President Trump. - Willie P.
