Roe

A leak from the Supreme Court indicated that Roe v Wade may be sent back to the states and while this in and of itself is a controversial decision and can be changed after further discussion, the problem at this time is the leak. The court relies on confidentiality to properly discuss issues. According to the news this is the first time in history such a leak has occurred. An interesting side story to this is how Roe has hurt the democratic party. Since Roe was enacted in 1973 more than 20 million Black women have chosen abortion. If these babies had lived they would have increased to 40 million additional Black citizens which would have doubled the Black population in this country and since Blacks vote over 90% democrat there would have been no republicans elected president and far fewer republicans to congress. While Blacks represent 13% of the population they have 38% of the abortions.
