What Reversing Roe v. Wade Means (and Doesn’t Mean)
Brenna Lewis | October 20, 2020

A parallel situation just occurred in Tennessee when the court immediately blocked their heartbeat bill minutes after its signing by the governor. The ACLU (supposedly the ‘American Civil Liberties Union’) can chalk up
