The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Friday a historic reversal to overturn Roe v Wade. After nearly 50 years of abortion being a constitutional right, states can now choose to outlaw abortion.
This historic ruling has obviously created a whirlwind of emotions in the country. Here was the response from teams and figures in the U.S. Soccer sphere.
