Commentary
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the 50-year-old Roe v. Wade decision—ironically on the day of the birth of one of America’s most tenacious pro-life activists, Nellie Gray—who was born on June 24, 1924. I say ironically because there was no one who fought harder to bring about the day Roe would cease to exist than her.
