Cartoon: The Jaws of the Supreme Court

Andrew Shu, Staff Writer|May 8, 2022

The draft majority opinion leaked on May 2, 2022, suggests that the Supreme Court will overturn the 1973 case Roe v. Wade, which affirms a pregnant woman’s right to an abortion. People are worried about what this upcoming decision could spell for other individual rights, as ongoing debates over liberties such as the one upheld by Roe cross into moral and religious areas.

What began with the firing of Twitter’s chief executive, Elon Musk has now laid off 3,700 employees after his $44 billion purchase of the company. With his purchase on Oct. 27, Musk acquired Twitter’s $13 million in debt. Musks firings have become a desperate attempt to salvage the company by cutting down on labor costs and infrastructure. This cut on infrastructure has already begun to affect the app’s content moderation. Similar to other tech companies as of late November, Musk aims to expand its profit margins in response to a foreseeable recession and high-interest rates.

As many around the country are concerned about the likely overturning of Roe v. Wade and increasingly restrictive abortion laws in states, junior Luiza Nunes wants to make sure people continue to protest. “Those who have been organizing for abortion rights saw this coming.
