FORT WORTH, Texas — It was a day Bradley Pierce had prayed for.
On Friday morning, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the landmark Roe v. Wade case — officially repealing the federal right to abortion and handing control to individual states.
Pierce, the president of Abolish Abortion Texas, was joyous when he heard the news. Pierce’s group had submitted a brief in the Supreme Court case — Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — something Pierce said he was “privileged” to do.
