Many feel the Roe v. Wade decision will affect other rights affecting women and minorities.
The effects of the Roe v. Wade ruling is beginning to take shape, but many fear this decision could be used to strike down other rights.
Gov. JB Pritzker, Mayor Lori Lightfoot, and Planned Parenthood are preparing for a large influx of women from other states seeking abortions in Illinois. "Black and brown people should be very, very concerned," Hoffler said."Roe v. Wade is going to have a particularly devastating impact on black and brown women, and poor women, because they're not going to have the ability, necessarily, to just pivot, fly to a state that has very -- liberal if you will -- abortion rights policies."
"It doesn't matter that in the opinion, or with the justices are saying, that your other rights are not at stake because the analysis and the logic for overturning Roe v. Wade is that women's reproductive rights, abortion, those things were not contemplated by the founding fathers in the U.S. constitution," Hoffler said.
