The 1973 Roe decision was decided 7-2 and written by a Nixon appointee. The 1987 Casey decision upholding Roe was written by a Reagan appointee on a Court w/ 8 justices appointed by GOP presidents.
Rejecting Roe as “egregiously wrong” 50 yrs later = a radical, political act.

#DidYouKnow you can start with a bottle of hydrogen gas & end up with the world’s most intense neutrino beam? @Fermilab we accelerate protons to nearly the speed of light & smash them into a target to create & study neutrinos, the secret keepers of our universe. #PhysicsPhriday

Hey @OldNavy you can do better than this. We saw the great #NASA shirt in store and I thought - well maybe they have a women’s version online. But nope. Guess only men can be #astronauts? 🤷♀️
