The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and eliminate the constitutional right abortion on Friday created a wave of reaction throughout the country, which included many prominent sports figures. Megan Rapinoe, who has never been afraid to speak out on what she believes, explicitly expressed her instant reaction to the decision.
Her remarks continued for over nine minutes, according to Yahoo Sports’s Henry Bushnell, and she touched many different areas of this decision.
“It’s hard to put into words how sad a day this is for me personally, for my teammates, for just all of the people out there this is going to affect,” she said.
