Unfortunately, the Supreme Court of the United States has overturned the Roe v. Wade case. The Landmark judgment of 1973 established abortion as a part of constitutional rights. The court decision came out on June 24, 2022, which disrupted the minds of women residents in America. As the law says abortion will be an illegal act after it will take effect in several states of the country. However, most people including famous personalities seem to disagree with this decision. As many believe this law is a violation of women’s rights as a human. Surprisingly famous entertainment platforms like Netflix are extending a helping hand to their female employees in such a future crisis.
