SEATTLE — A host of Washington state’s top elected officials, including Gov. Jay Inslee, Attorney General Bob Ferguson and Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, pledged Tuesday to fight for reproductive rights amid the very real possibility that the U.S. Supreme Court could overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade court decision that legalized abortion.
A leaked draft of a decision from the Supreme Court to potentially overturn the 1973 ruling in Roe v. Wade has upended political life in the U.S., drawing howls of outrage from Democrats angered by the possibility of the landmark decision being overturned.
