BLACKSBURG, Va. – The United States Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade is already creating a firestorm surrounding this year’s election.

Vice President Kamala Harris blames former President Donald Trump for the reversal of Roe v. Wade. Meanwhile, Trump said the Supreme Court’s decision was a big win for life.

A political science expert from Virginia Tech said we are already seeing the impacts of the court’s decision in other states and here in Virginia.
