As we all are still trying to overcome a very overwhelming and destructive pandemic, we have received some awful news for the American people. On the 18th of September, 2020 in her Washington, D.C. home, the second woman to ever serve on the U.S Supreme Court appointed in 1933 by President Bull Clinton, the notorious, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has passed away due to complications from pancreatic cancer. We did not simply just lose an amazing soul, but we lost someone who has spent her entire life not only being a feminist icon, but also fighting for what matters for all lives in the United States. With Justice Ginsburg’s position on the U.S Supreme Court, it allowed a lot of individuals to feel at ease knowing she would issue her absolute best judgment on the issues we see that threatens the constitution, as she have been. Justice Ginsburg is known for many things, including her constant fight on laws and cases that threatened the right all women should be entitled to (see her opinions on the Supreme Court’s historic 1973 landmark Roe v. Wade. and how critical her position was on the case). Unfortunately with her passing, the future in abortion laws and a lot of other rights pertaining to women’s control over their bodies is now in danger. We will not know the future of this among the countless other things that can and will be affected by her death, but we should spend this time celebrating her life, legacy and strengths for all of these years and protest to ensure the government

I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Justice Ruth Ginsburg, and pray that her soul Rest’s In Everlasting peace in Jesus name I pray, amen.
