June 24, 2022— a day that will go down in history. The day that Roe v. Wade was overturned.  

What does this mean? Individual states now have the option to ban abortions in their respective states. And according to the Associated Press, it is believed that almost half of the country will ban the medical procedure in the wake of the reversal. 

Public figures and celebrities have begun to flood social media with criticism of this decision, including an Instagram post from Michelle Obama. Her opening sentiments? 

"I am heartbroken today."
