Most American women, born in the post-Roe world, will now face a reality that sent their mothers and grandmothers to illegal abortion providers before the 1973 court decision.

Their common denominator; pushing to hold off the vote until the conclusion of the presidential election; increases the chance that ‘their side’ will be in the White House and with that, the justice they want to see nominated.
