The decision, unthinkable just a few years ago, was the culmination of decades of efforts by abortion opponents, made possible by an emboldened right side of the court that has been fortified by three appointees of former President Donald Trump.
Former President Barack Obama was swift to condemn the decision, saying it attacked "the essential freedoms of millions of Americans". "We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision," Alito wrote.Joining Alito were Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett. The latter three justices are Trump appointees. Thomas first voted to overrule Roe 30 years ago.An abortion-rights protester becomes emotional following the US Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v.
Mississippi's only abortion clinic, which is at the centre of the case, continued to see patients on Friday . Outside, men used a bullhorn to tell people inside the clinic that they would burn in hell. Clinic escorts wearing colourful vests used large stereo speakers to blast Tom Petty'sMississippi is one of 13 states, mainly in the South and Midwest, that already have laws on the books that ban abortion in the event Roe is overturned.
But Alito wrote in his draft opinion that his analysis addresses abortion only, not other rights that also stem from a right to privacy that the high court has found implicit, though not directly stated, in the Constitution. Abortion is different, Alito wrote, because of the unique moral question it poses.
By the time Mississippi filed its main written argument with the court in the summer, the thrust of its argument had changed and it was now calling for the wholesale overruling of Roe and Casey.
Hardly Australian new
I find it so very disturbing that the USA Court can overturn abortion rights but cannot overturn the troublesome gun laws. I find the USA system so very hypocritical. No to abortion but yes to mass shootings at school's. 😠
What the fuck is wrong with your country lol. Land of the free - if you agree or can afford it, mean while school shootings because of the right to bare arms lol. So you pick and choose too lol
Incase this happens in Australia. I went outside earlier and kept slamming my old fella and family jewls in the car door until they fell off. Because I have rights.
Oh noes, womens will have to be accountable for their own actions.
Part of the deal Trump made with the Taliban?
My body, my choice, except when big pharma is involved and you have to take an experimental drug that doesn't actually do anything but harm the recipient.
FAKE PROPOGANDA: Its a STATE issue, not FEDERAL. That's ALL that was decided and they are correct, it's NOT a constitutional issue. Damn, you people are so easy to manipulate 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like the vaccine has blocked the tear ducts..
Get a life and stop killing lives! Time to take responsibility for having unprotected intercourses.
America is a deeply unserious country
So does that mean rapists will need to pay child support if they get their victim pregnant? Potential for lost of bastard children? Or will we enter the great 25 year headache? O the flip side..there is no shortage of precautions. Baby formula maybe but not preventative items.
So they can over turn and change their amendments. So what’s their excuse for not changing their 2nd amendment after all their mass shootings?
Abortion was never a constitutional right it is not mentioned in the constitution and states like california and New york who have full term abortion still keep that and other states now decide their own position on abortion
Now it’s a State issue and not a Federal one, which is how it should have always been
It’s ok you still have guns
I haven't seen the Democrats this mad since their slaves were taken away
9FakeNewsNetwork, court didn’t end any protection. Just send it back to the states legislature, fake journalists dummies…
