We should get ready for the ripple effect of this decision. — Unless you are living under a rock or oblivious about what happens in the world around you, you are probably as shocked as most of the modern world is right now regarding the US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Wade v Roe, sending us back to the dark times when…
