The push notification materialized in deafening silence. News website Politico had leaked an initial draft of Supreme Court majority opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. The day that pro-choice America had been dreading (or had uneasily tried to convince themselves would never actually come) had dawned.
The opinion, written by conservative justice Samuel Alito, shook me to my core. My fury, however, didn’t stem from believing that Alito’s words were wrong, even if I was aghast at what they meant for America. Quite the contrary: I was furious because I knew he was right.
