This final decision ends constitutional protection for abortion, returning the rights to state legislatures.

Quote

In a historic and far-reaching decision, the U.S. Supreme Court officially reversed Roe v. Wade on Friday, declaring that the constitutional right to abortion, upheld for nearly a half century, no longer exists.

Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade, ending right to abortion upheld for decades

Do you think the Supreme Court made the right decision or gone too far?

I think the Supreme Court is not done. This is just wow. Sad realization, sad week.

SCOTUS has NO IDEA of what real life is like. I think they have NO RIGHT to be taking over a person's private health decisions, regardless. 

Wonder if this will eventually 'end' with all women being lobotomized and turned into the Stepford Wives? Ppfftt!

Gone way too far! I hate abortion, and I think it is a terrible thing and should be a last resort. HOWEVER, I do not have a uterus, and who am I to strip away a woman's right to choose? This stunt literally takes America back 60 years. Stay out of people's personal lives! I find it highly ironic that conservatives cry for less government! Yet, they're a-okay with allowing the government to stick its big nose into people's personal lives. Yuck! Gimme a break!

Saw a photo of a protester of this recent JOKE of a law by SCOTUS: She wore an ankle length black dress with white images resembling sperm on it. She held a sign that said "MANDATORY VASECTOMIES! Life Begins at Ejaculation"

I thought that was the best protest sign I've seen...because we all know that a women's eggs don't magically turn into fetuses without sperm...So...........men should also face consequences for a pregnancy, don't you think?

The way I see it is - no abortion?  Then no sex; you want to rape - be ready to be shot to kill.  That is what I call exercising my rights.

As someone said, I don't think they are nearly done yet. 

I'm a woman living in another country where I have full access to birth control and should I need it an abortion. I'm freaked out about it. Cant imagine what its like to be a person with a uterus in the USA

Making abortions illegal won't stop abortions, it will just result in more people dying from pregnancy related complications and unsafe abortions.

And every time that happens, the court buffoons should be held liable by the families of the victims.

I wouldn't do this, but in my imagination I see Ubers dropping off hundreds and hundreds of basketsful of baby-dolls wrapped like newborns to The Supreme Court stairs.

And blood-stained women draped on those stairs, as if dead.

It's just all talk and no action. Good thing, too, 'cause I don't want to be arrested for startin' any trouble!
