Hello Aaron,

>Ruth Bader Ginsburg died today, I just read. I wish her family the best.

My condolences to her family.

>But I also wonder what does this mean for her spot in the Supreme Court?

She is no longer on the Supreme Court.

>Does this give Trump yet another opportunity to fill a seat before the end
> of his term?

He can nominate a new justice to the Supreme Court any time he wants.
But is under no obligation to do so.

>And if so, what does this mean for Roe v. Wade?

Nothing. The USSC could have overturned Roe V. Wade long ago
had it wanted to. But Republicans wanted to keep the status quo,
in order to use the issue of abortion as a political weapon.

>RBG might have just saved a lot of babies!

Being pro-life means from the moment of conception and throughout
life to the time of natural death. I do not see many of those so-called
"pro-life" folks calling for an end to the death penalty, or for all
people to have access to quality health care.
