What to read about Roe v. Wade
I had a different newsletter written for this week; I was leaving town for the weekend, so I wrote it on Wednesday and scheduled it to publish on Sunday morning. But with the news of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade on Friday, the essay I had written before now felt inappropriate for the moment. Instead this week I’ve collected some of the best things to read about Roe v Wade, as well as some non-Roe related links I rounded up earlier last week before the news broke.
Take care.
