Rep. Maxine Waters of California, a Democrat, issued a defiance threat to the Supreme Court on Friday, following the court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and abolish federal safeguards for abortion.

“They’ve seen nothing yet. Women are going to control their bodies, no matter how they try and stop them. To hell with the Supreme Court! We will defy them. Women will be in control of their bodies,” Waters told reporters at the Supreme Court on Friday.
