A leaked opinion, drafted by Supreme Court Justice Alito, outlining the Court’s intention to overturn Roe v. Wade has literally rocked the nation. To say that women are enraged that our right to have an abortion is fueling the widespread protests doesn’t even begin to tell the whole story. Many women are against abortion, and personally would never choose it for themselves, but the operative word is “choose.” Overturning Roe v.
