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.
Justices Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan — the diminished liberal wing of the court — were in dissent. Mississippi 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. Another half-dozen states have near-total bans or prohibitions after 6 weeks of pregnancy, before many women know they are pregnant.
The Biden administration and other defenders of abortion rights have warned that a decision overturning Roe also would threaten other high court decisions in favor of gay rights and even potentially, contraception. In his opinion, Alito dismissed the arguments in favor of retaining the two decisions, including that multiple generations of American women have partly relied on the right to abortion to gain economic and political power.
By early summer, Kennedy had retired and was replaced by Justice Brett Kavanaugh a few months later. The Mississippi law was blocked in lower federal courts.
AS A MAN A FATHER OF A DAUGHTER A HUSBAND A BROTHER OF SISTERS HOW IS IT IN 2022 THAT A BUNCH OF FREAKING CRAZY ASS PEOPLE CAN TELL A WOMAN WHAT TO DO WITH THEIR BODIES & AND NOT MAKE MEN GET CUT & PAY CHILD CARE! STAY OUT OF PEOPLES BUSINESS KARMA IS A BITCH!
I’m so upset about this. How can you force a woman to have a child they DONT WANT? Are you not afraid for that child’s safety? We have NO idea what goes on in someone’s home to stop a child abuser from hurting a kid, and we all know CPS is not reliable! 😣RoeOverturned
Why are the BLUE STATES in yellow or mustard color?
thepullofgrace The US keeps sliding down the scale of being one of the freest counties in the world. They don't even make the top 50...
My congress rep a Republican nut job a religious hack supports this ban YoungKimCA RepYoungKim her democrat opponent this November needs help DrMahmood40
My sincere hope is the overturning of Roe v Wade will stem the tide of lunatic Democrats escaping Marxist CA to come to free Texas but bringing their insane voting habits that turned CA into a Marxist shithole to begin with.

Is this kkk
This kind of looks like an election map
Check your map. Some of this is off.
Ladies, you always have the option to move to a state that allows abortions and will continue to allow it. The job market is great. There are more jobs than applicants. Now a good time to leave and find a new job. I wish all of you the best of luck.
Specifically, only 39% have outright banned the practice with 61% taking no action or asserting the right to continue to the practice.
Diversity. 😎
Well, this isn’t going to backfire at all.
Thank you for actually giving information instead of screaming
Actually Abortion isn’t in the Constitution so it’s not a constitutional right.
Justices without a vagina should have recused from this case. Result = 2 to 1 in favor of upholding Roe. These numbers would more closely mirror the will of American women to retain ability to make their own health decisions NoVaginaNoOpinion RoeVsWade
It a constitutional right
America is becoming a country in Africa or South America
Here is an overview of abortion legislation and the expected impact of the court's decision in every state.
The 6 Justices committed perjury when they claimed they wouldnt mess with the rule of law. They promised they wouldn't touch roe and now they have done just that!These Justices should not be the last stop on womens right to choose!We put our lives in the hands of 9 people! Wrong!
put on a ski mask, some shades, and riot.

Fetus claimed on taxes? Fetus more rights than pregnant women. Overreach of government & onerous burden on women! Where are men in responsibility of fertilized egg (healthcare (prenatal & after physical health mother & child) & daycare etc.).
'Restricted' Uh, do you mean also permitted?
So there you go ladies and men who care about women. Untold numbers of poor women in GOP controlled states like PA for instance, will be in a world of hurt. Women will die.
Wow. Thrown into dark age Catholicism over night.
MaddowBlog The idea a court is Supreme is now a laughing stock in a time the dark ages are now being celebrated. There is no longer a Supreme court but now a court of oppression, bought. Sad American liberty has been assaulted by greed and power. It will continue.
The GOP & the SCOTUS6 just stripped away every woman's humanity!
Sit in city buildings. Don't let them close 😡
