Martin Scorsese said, “I love studying Ancient History and seeing how empires rise and fall, sowing the seeds of their own destruction.” What a statement for our time.

If you had a “How did we get here?” moment last Tuesday morning upon waking to the news that overturning Roe v. Wade was no longer mere speculation, I can help you make sense of it. I, too, was roiled by the news and spent the week trying to absorb this new reality. Finally it hit me. The answer can be found in the iconic 1990 Scorsese movie “Goodfellas.” I’m remaking this film with the original stars, albeit a new cast of characters.
