Maxine Waters Vows to ‘Defy’ SCOTUS Decision Overturning Roe v Wade: ‘The Hell With the Supreme Court’

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) is vowing to defy the Supreme Court decision striking down Roe v. Wade.

Speaking outside the court on Friday, Waters said, referring to a crowd that had gathered, “You see this turnout here? You ain’t seen nothing yet.”

“Women are going to control their bodies no matter how they try and stop us. The hell with the Supreme Court. We will defy them. Women will be in control of their bodies. And if they think Black women are intimidated or afraid, they got another thought coming,” she continued.

Finally, Waters added, “Black women will be out in droves. We will be out by the thousands, we will be out by the millions. We are going to make sure we fight for the right to control our own bodies.”
