Roe v Wade has been OVERTURNED!

This is a victory for 63 million innocent babies who have been killed – lost generations, who could not speak for themselves.

A victory for LIFE!!!

Again: It has become necessary to dissolve the Supreme Court of the United States.

This is no longer a court. It is a Minority imposing its religious beliefs on the Majority: our House of Lords; Superlegislature; Theocracy.

Where possible, states must ignore its invalid edicts.

Whether you are pro-abortion or not, this was the right decision legally. You may not like it, but you were lied to by the Roe & Casey justices who told you abortion was a constitutional right. This Court set things straight & now it’s where it belongs: in the hands of the ppl.

Something that's hard to convey to people who don't walk in their shoes: there are a lot of women walking around today who aren't just sad. They're frightened. They're terrified.

Apologies. I’ve been in a funeral the past couple of hours & am just now able to read the opinions. Initial reports were 6-3, but that was only to uphold MS law. Roberts didn’t sign on to overturning of Roe, which means conservative justices still have targets on their backs.

The Supreme Court overturned Roe, 50 years of precedent, with a 6-3 hard-right majority which includes 5 justices appointed by GOP presidents who lost the popular vote, 2 credibly accused of sexual misconduct, & 1 in a totally stolen seat.

No wonder there’s a legitimacy crisis.

I'm old enough to remember when Gorsuch, Barrett and Kavanaugh put their hand on the bible and told us that Roe was settled law that wouldn't be altered.

Joe Biden making clear he wants to run on abortion. "This fall, Roe is on the ballot," he says. Good luck with that 2022 strategy.

This must be the most pro-death “pro-life” Supreme Court in history. More guns, more death penalty — and more babies? I guess with all the killing, we’re going to need more people? Is that the rationale? Just awful. #Roe #abortion

It's not like the conservative movement has been hiding its intentions. We've spent 40 years being open and transparent about moving the Court right and people seem freaked out we actually did it. And all that means is you gotta work at the state level now.

conservative legislatures will attempt to keep residents from traveling to other states to obtain abortions; will try to keep companies from providing out of state abortion benefits; will try to punish out of state doctors who provide abortions to their residents

This is a state’s rights issue but now we are in for the 2 extremes, neither of which is good. On demand is ridiculous and disgusting BUT banning is counterproductive. You’re not gonna stop abortions, you’re just gonna stop safe ones. SAFE, LEGAL, RARE. #RoeVsWade

Another reason to be cautious about making immediate political predictions: A lot of people didn't know this was about to happen or realize what effects would be, including the lower-engagement people who are likelier to be swing/infrequent voters.
