WASHINGTON — On the day the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, and with it the constitutional right to an abortion, Sen. Josh Hawley was thrilled.
The Missouri Republican got into politics because of his opposition to abortion. It’s one of the reasons both he and his wife, Erin Morrow Hawley, became lawyers. He believes it’s the greatest social justice issue of our time.
And in the immediate aftermath of a ruling Hawley had been waiting his life to see, he said he wanted to give the ruling a little time for the issue to breathe and for states to start setting their own policies.
