BREAKING: The U.S. Supreme Court overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade case, ending nearly 50 years of constitutional protections for abortion.

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.

The ruling came more than a month after the stunning leak of a draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito indicating the court was prepared to take this momentous step. It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving Roe, according to opinion polls.

Roe v Wade doesn't give you the right to have an abortion. All this ruling does is send that choice to the individual and community level.

And Democrats let it happen.

There are no words …

No, it just means that decision making has been passed back to individual states (closer to the voter) and state law. If people don't like it, they may vote with their feet. If people outside the state don't like it, they can pony-up and sponsor people leaving it.

It's States Rights. It s not gone ffs. But of course this will be used to keep ppl infighting instead of holding all these corrupt pieces of shit accountable for their apparent corruption everyday.

America is now officially a Handmaid's Tale society. Canada must open its door to American women who seek refuge, just as we opened our door for Americans escaping being drafted to fight in Vietnam. The War on Women has begun in the USA!

In a republic it should always be up to the people. Now it is. It will be decided at state level by the voters.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA good one Nancy 😂

This is factually incorrect and it’s a shame you posted it. Roe vs Wade is an absolute mess that needs to be abolished and improved.

Hear, hear!

OMG, America has truly regressed. I will NEVER ever be traveling into the US and I will NEVER ever spend ONE red cent in the US! And I do have 1st cousins who live in the US and I love them dearly. They could come up to Canada.

Middle aged men with small hands telling women what they can and can't do with their bodies. How is this a boom?

Excellent news! Life wins!

aholes

Praise be to God! Was never a constitution right in the first place. Best news in 50 years!! This is for the millions upon millions of innocent children who were murdered violently because of legalizing this incredibly evil act. Hopefully a start to the end the death culture.

The Supreme Court has officially declared that all lives matter. Hallelujah.

Beginning of the end for the USA. I foresee some states leaving the union in the near future.

Use birth control.

God wins today. God plays a slow game of chess, checkmates

So many people comparing this to the gun issue. Guns kill people. Yep… Ever see the tool used to physically CRUSH a fetus’s skull so that they can get it out during an abortion?

Children have the right to live !!! What a great day for humanity and for the USA

Btw abortion isn’t mentioned in the constitution….it’s not a God-given right to kill babies.

ONE GIANT STEP BACKWARDS, thanks to lying Judges during confirmation hearings!! What does this say about our highest court?

I have a feeling liberals will have something to say about this.

Boom? That's gross, National Newswatch Twitter guy. That's a really gross way to put that. Do better.

Thank god I don't live in that trash third world country.

W

This isn't a surprise, it was leaked months ago.

roe v wade was a decision based on a case that was a total lie.

Sad day for Woman in the US.

States will now decide how abortion proceeds within their own state. How many states will remain unchanged? Slightly restrict? Seriously restrict? Ban? Are people uncomfortable that a state will have abortion regulation that suits the democratic will of the people?

Canada needs to stop electing Christo fascists MP's like ArnoldViersen or this will happen here 🤬

Disgraceful decision!

This is a very sad day for women! Shame on the Supreme Court!

Thank you Jesus! 🙏

Sad sad day for women. Shame on the Supreme Court 😡

PRAISE OUR JESUS !!!! NOW DECISIONS GO TO EACH STATE ....

You know they did this to distract from the hearing on Trump.

Mass exodus of women out of the states that want to control their bodies…

Dumbass elitism run amok

Jesus Christ.

This is excellent! Now some states are free to ban mothers from having access to slaughtering their children before they have an opportunity to be born! This is a great day!

That’s what happens when a bunch of old men with shrivel up dicks tell you what you can and cannot do with your body.

Great news. 🙏🏻

You can ban abortions but t NOT guns?!!! I guess SCOTUS and RepubliKKKLANs are looking for more targets!

Disgusting. SCOTUS is illegitimate.

Watch Trudeau capitalize on this one.

It's a sad day for women.

What a disgrace

U.S. abortion providers on ‘heightened alert’ as they brace for Supreme Court rulingAbortion providers and some in law enforcement are preparing for an increase in violence once the U.S. Supreme Court rules I pray for all the children who never got their right to life. I don't blame the women who have abortions, I blame popular culture, and doctors who don't respect their vow to protect life, and a political party that panders for votes by supporting this despicable act.

U.S. Supreme Court expands gun rights, strikes down New York lawThe New York restriction is unconstitutional because it 'prevents law-abiding citizens with ordinary self-defence needs from exercising their right to keep and bear arms,' said Justice Clarence Thomas Thank you, JCT! Very cool! OMG expanding gun rights is horrible. What if some racists get their hands on these guns? Guns should be banned for good for all of us to stay safe, like in China, which is such a great example of a mild dictatorship. Expect more mass killings, because that is the consequence of striking down reasonable limits on gun ownership.
