He said he is ``proudly the person responsible'' for the annihilation of Roe v. Wade. Let me repeat those words because the American people need to hear it over and over again. Donald Trump said he is ``proudly the person responsible'' for ending Roe. Yesterday, we saw another consequence of a post-Roe America. The Arizona Supreme Court upheld a Civil War-era law banning abortion almost entirely, without exceptions for rape or for incest. The Arizona Supreme Court's decision goes as far as to suggest that doctors can be prosecuted for assisting in an abortion.
