At Grey Horse, we believe that every human deserves equal rights. However, the Supreme Court openly decreed that they will not uphold this belief. The overturning of Roe v. Wade isn’t just a slap in the face to equality, it directly overturns decades of progress towards achieving a United States that is truly representative of freedom.
