This morning left a devastating tragedy for not only the countless amount of women, but also the men and everyone else who are hoping for a better America. The Supreme Court decided to overturn Roe V. Wade- prohibiting womens’ right to abortion across more than half of the U.S., 26 states in total. Roe V. Wade gave rights to abortions since 1973, making this nearly 50 years since it was appealed. The case was originally leaked by Politico last month.
According to Consequence, the debate originally came from Dobbs vs Jackson from Mississippi’s one only abortion clinic. They sued after Mississippi appealed an abortion ban. Lower courts found the ban unconstitutional under Roe vs Wade. Now, legislatures have turned down the 50-year old law.
Not only are politicians angry, but an enormous community are furious, including celebrities. Singer Maggie Rogers tweeted, “abortion is healthcare. bodily autonomy is a human right.” “Whether it’s abortion, gun control, corporate power, arresting you without reading you your rights, using your tax dollars to benefit religious institutions, the Supreme Court is deliberately laying waste to the hopes, needs, and safety of the vast majority of the US population,” Deerhoof gave in.
Rock band Pearl Jam wrote, “No one, not the government, not politicians, not the Supreme Court should prevent access to abortion, birth control, and contraceptives. People should have the FREEDOM to choose. Today’s decision impacts everyone and it will particularly affect poor women who can’t afford to travel to access health care.”
Consequence also gave an amazing list of funds you can donate for abortions here! More tweets and Instagram posts are below:
It’s a dark day for Women in the US and a strange coincidence that our video premiered today of all days.
Ladies, raise some hell. 🔥

Speechless. Striking down Roe v. Wade will have devastating repercussions for so many people. This decision is a slippery slope. What next? If you have the funds, consider giving to https://t.co/ayj3kKeh9e or https://t.co/tM6mL3KzZE

If you’re gonna talk about how divided we are as a nation, you’ll want to mention SCOTUS decisions like this one, handing power to state reps in crazy-ass gerrymandered districts and completely ignoring the will of the majority of US citizens. This is not what the people want.

just because you’re not an American citizen does not mean the overturning of Roe V Wade is none of your business. if you support womens rights and human rights you NEED to be vocal about how drastic and appalling the overturning of the constitutional right to an abortion is.

Fuckin bullshit!!
This decision is about more than abortion, it’s about who has power over you, who has authority to make decisions for you, and who is going to control how your future turns out~ @nwlc @PPFA @ACLU @SisterSong_WOC pic.twitter.com/52Pj6j36Z1

This was the end goal for Trump and the religious right. They have been working towards this goal essentially since 1973. This is why the evangelicals didn’t care about him being an abuser etc., they knew he would eventually deliver THIS.

too angry to speak prudently, even though we knew this was coming. to all the centrists over the years who insisted to me that protecting the right to abortion wasn’t politically expedient, the strongest curse I can imagine; the bad guys won because of your cowardice. https://t.co/YVBzM6Slz1

The idea that one country could be the best in the world is such a childish and embarrassing concept.
The fact that we claim it for ourselves is even worse.
Women are second class citizens in The United States of America.
Today, this is, most certainly, a shithole country. https://t.co/2SMhj9VzlY— Steve Gorman (@SGSFOX) June 24, 2022
