The Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday, gutting abortion rights nationally and allowing abortion bans to go into effect in multiple states. It was a moment we’ve known was coming since Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell packed the Supreme Court, and one we’ve very specifically known was coming since Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization was leaked at the beginning of May.
Democrats had every opportunity to get ready for this. Too many are showing they’ve failed. President Joe Biden has remarks scheduled for 12:30 PM ET, and reports say the White House has been preparing actions to take in response to the decision. We’ll see how that goes. But other Democrats have already definitely failed the test.
