The same day the United States supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, a 1993 speech made by Ruth Bader Ginsburg went viral.
Given at her Supreme Court confirmation hearings in 1993, its reappearance almost 30 years later was prompted by the overturning of the 1973 decision, which allowed women the right to a medical termination. For many, the footage of Ginsburg calmly but firmly stating the legal case in defence of her unflinching support of abortion rights, summed up what they themselves felt.
