An abortion-rights activist reacts after the announcement to the ruling in front of the US Supreme Court on 24 June 2022 in Washington, DC.The US Supreme Court on Friday overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v Wade ruling that recognised women's constitutional right to abortion, a decision condemned by President Joe Biden that will dramatically change life for millions of women in America and exacerbate growing tensions in a deeply polarised country.
The decision will also intensify the debate over the legitimacy of the court, once an unassailable cornerstone of the American democratic system but increasingly under scrutiny for its more aggressively conservative decisions on a range of issues.Twenty-six states are either certain or considered likely to ban abortion. Mississippi is among 13 states with so-called trigger laws to ban abortion with Roe overturned.
Justice Brett Kavanaugh, in a concurring opinion, appeared to nix an idea advocated by some anti-abortion advocates that the next step is for the court to declare that the Constitution outlaws abortion. Mr Biden urged Congress to pass a law protecting abortion rights, an unlikely proposition given its partisan divisions. Mr Biden said his administration will protect women's access to medications approved by the US Food and Drug Administration including pills for contraception and medication abortion, while also combating efforts to restrict women from travelling to other states to obtain abortions.
“We are here for a reason. We were born in this place…” oh the irony!
Unfortunate.
AOC = COAT
AOC encouraging people to take to the streets - to do what exactly? Storm the Capitol? Surely this is incitement from an elected official.
She must be in jail
AOC seems to be a joker who is going to be ambitious to replace house speaker .
The America laws are only an excuse to tread on human rights. Some laws against other countries are based on lies to bully. Is the US going to more and more evil? 🇺🇸👺👹
This was a very good decision and it aligns with the U.S. constitution. Now each individual states can decide their own abortion laws in accordance with the people living in that state. Way too much hysteria around it.
Abortion, the 'right' Hitler gives to women in occupied Europe with the exception of German women. Didn't he like German women?
Has anyone told them you can't get pregnant from battery powered toys
Seemingly here in Australia too.Just because we import so much USA culture doesn't mean we will follow their domestic laws. Unless AlboMP maybe thinks it a good idea. auspol
But the guns are staying? Righto, America.
Not mixed. Horror. Period. Media a total failure
Weird how The US regime has no problem dropping bombs on kids in other countries but bans abortion because Jesus.
With with the precedent established, will the right wing political parties next push for the re-establishment of “Jim Crowe” laws….
Good
It’s not a constitutional right 🙄
So America has just become like Australia where abortion laws are a state by state issue? If the public wills it the state legislation will change
Imagine if the President had some actual power
In the U.S., you’re not allowed to kill a baby in the womb. You have to wait for them to get to school first.
