While the U.S. Supreme Court on Friday, June 24, officially reversed Roe v. Wade, ending constitutional protections for abortion that had been in place for nearly 50 years, Queens lawmakers say New York will remain a safe haven for anyone seeking an abortion.
The 6-3 historic ruling comes more than a month after the leak of a draft opinion by Conservative Justice Samuel Alito showed that the court planned to overturn the landmark 1973 decision after ruling on a Mississippi case that bans abortions after 15 weeks.
