U.S. national soccer team star Megan Rapinoe expressed her anger Friday over the Supreme Court's decision to strip the nation’s constitutional protections for abortion.

, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver and WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert said the leagues “believe that women should be able to make their own decisions concerning their health and future, and we believe that freedom should be protected.”

“We live in country that forever tries to chip away what you have innately, what you have been privileged enough to feel your entire life," she said. “Access to safe reproductive health care and having autonomy over one's body are basic, nonnegotiable human rights, and our club deeply objects to today's Supreme Court decision,” it said.Texas, home to the NWSL's Houston Dash and the WNBA's Dallas Wings, is among 13 states that have trigger laws similar to Kentucky. Two other WNBA teams, the Indiana Fever and the Atlanta Dream, are in states where abortion restrictions are possible.

The criticism of the court's decision came cascading down from women coaches, players, teams and unions.“Incredibly disappointed by the decision made today. The sad part is this will not stop abortions from happening … this will only increase illegal and unsafe abortions.

Supreme Court strikes down New York gun law along ideological linesThe Supreme Court ruled in favor of New York gun owners who want to carry weapons outside the home. The 6-3 decision, which divided the court along the usual ideological lines, follows a series of high-profile mass shootings. So the purpose of arresting the man outside Kavanaugh's house was for what then? I guess he was entitled to be there. A major win for the American People with the SCOTUS protecting their individual rights from the government. DISPICABLE.
