Breaking: U.S. Supreme Court overturns the landmark Roe v. Wade case, which protects the right to abortion

has ended constitutional protections for abortion

It puts the court at odds with a majority of Americans who favored preserving Roe, according to opinion polls. Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — the diminished liberal wing of the court — were in dissent. In roughly a half-dozen other states, the fight will be over dormant abortion bans that were enacted before Roe was decided in 1973 or new proposals to sharply limit when abortions can be performed, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research group that supports abortion rights.

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.

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.

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.
