EAU CLAIRE, Wis. — Marcy Thomas and her husband, Scott, opened the church doors to a couple of visitors and didn't hesitate to explain how they felt about the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and eliminate constitutional protections for abortion.
"I thought it was disgusting," said Marcy Thomas, 57, as she sat a high-top table in the Valleybrook Church in downtown Eau Claire. She and her husband are members and caretakers for the nondenominational church housed in the historic Hollywood movie theater building, with an outside movie marquee that advertises church services.
She said she doesn't want judges and legislators "telling me how to make choices for my health or my daughter's or my granddaughter's health."
