Update (1312ET) Following Friday’s Supreme Court decision overturning Roe vs. Wade, which returns the matter of abortion rights to individual states, lawmakers acted about as expected – with Congressional Democrats vowing to legislate Roe into law, and Republicans celebrating the win.
President Biden said on Friday that the ‘health and life of women in this nation are now at risk,’ and has called for peaceful protests in the wake of the decision.

Attorney General Merrick Garland said that he “strongly disagrees” with the decision, and said it “will have an immediate and irreversible impact on the lives of people across the country,” particularly people of color and poor people. “But today’s decision does not eliminate the ability of states to keep abortion legal within their borders. And the Constitution continues to restrict states’ authority to ban reproductive services provided outside their borders,” Garland continued.
The DOJ will “work tirelessly to protect and advance reproductive freedom,” he said, adding that he supports Congressional efforts to “codify Americans’ reproductive rights.”
Garland’s DOJ is a TERRIFYING threat to the republic. Are Republican leaders too scared of the politicized DOJ to speak out against what is going on? https://t.co/pqOVZYPEx8

AOC did her thing, as expected:
“This is not just about the right to choice. This is about rule of law and democracy — and who is a full person in the eyes of the law,” says Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez following the SCOTUS ruling on abortion https://t.co/oEuhQnXlKu pic.twitter.com/ebjH0a5ZKs

The Supreme Court has overturned Roe vs. Wade, returning the decision on whether or not abortion is legal to individual states.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences.,” wrote Justice Samuel Alito in the Friday decision – the May 2 leak of which led to widespread protests and an attempted murder against Justice Brett Kavanaugh – the court overturned the 1973 case which guaranteed access to abortion nationwide.
Justices Breyer, Sotomayor and Kagan unsurprisingly dissented.
The case at issue – Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization challenged a Mississippi law that banned most abortions after 15 weeks. Lower courts, citing a previous ruling in Planned Parenthood v. Casey preventing states from banning abortion within the first 24 weeks of gestation, had prevented Dobbs from being enacted – which the Supreme Court just reversed.

In response to the ruling, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) said that Congressional Democrats would work to “enshrine Roe v. Wade into law” – while former President Obama said the ruling attacks ‘essential freedoms.’
Chuck Schumer (D-NY) tweeted that “American women are having their rights taken by 5 unelected Justices on the extremist MAGA court.”
Today is one of the darkest days our country has ever seen
American women are having their rights taken by 5 unelected Justices on the extremist MAGA court
These justices—appointed by Republicans and presiding without accountability—have stolen the fundamental right to abortion

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said that the ruling is “courageous and correct.”
Within an hour of the USSC Roe decision, Missouri ended abortion in the state.

Earlier this month, President Joe Biden said that there would be a “mini revolution” in November’s midterm elections if the landmark decision was overturned – insisting that overturning the law would be “ridiculous” and would drive Democrat turnout in November’s midterm elections.
“I don’t think the country will stand for it,” he said, adding “If in fact the decision comes down the way it does, and these states impose the limitations they’re talking about, it’s going to cause a mini revolution and they’re going to vote these folks out of office.”

Earlier this year, Congressional Democrats tried and failed to codify Roe v. Wade into federal law. Meanwhile, Biden said he was exploring the use of executive orders depending on the final Supreme Court decision.
Biden also pushed voters to come out during midterms so that Congressional dems would have enough of a majority to codify abortion rights into law.
“You gotta vote to let people know exactly what the devil you think,” he told Kimmel.
As the Post Millennial notes:
Jews are kvetching super hard in America right now. There are lots of calls for violence on social media, but the Federal Bureau of Israel is too busy going after White supremacy!
US banana republic is imploding. The Jews want more black and Hispanic poor people. The rich will still have access to abortions even though Biden would have been a prime candidate along with Bush, Obama, Blair etc. The US is heading for a civil war, the sooner the better for the world.
All the baby killers will rant, plunder and burn. Fetus is Latin for baby, and was applied to those still in the womb and newborn.
John Pro-lifers are such massive hypocrites that I can’t even wrap my mind around it, they also support Republicans banning contraception, birth control pills and even planned parenthood which will actually cause abortion rates to sky rocket in the US, a perfect example of ignorant Americans voting against their own self interests as usual, America also has a massive problem with poverty and homelessness as well, Roe v Wade being overturned will make that problem even worse, as if America didn’t have it bad enough already.
You mean the mostly peaceful demonstrators? Or the ones screaming the lowest my body my choice? Funny that the same ones are also screaming the loudest at the people not wanting to put a toxic and insufficiently tested injection in their bodies. Then they don’t care about my body my choice, so why would they care about killing little babies.
Crawl back under the slimey rock from whence you came, troll. You’re a fucking idiot.
This fucking website censors posts. Just a quick note to let you know you’re full of shit.
Why interrupt? More Americans dying sounds good to me.
Sorry ghouls, if you want to murder your babies you’re gonna have to do it illegally.
Used to be women had to go to Mexico or even Japan to get an abortion. So now they have to go to Colorado? What’s the problem?
You’re obviously too stupid to understand that many working poor women don’t have the money to travel out of state. There are also laws in place in TX, for example where people can snitch to the police of a pregnant woman travels out of state to get an abortion. Then they will be jailed for murder. Doh! Leaving you to your brain addled naval gazing…..
I haven’t noticed you commenting here before today, Slam. I hoping I don’t get to read your drivel tomorrow.
We’ve already got enough mental midgets contributing their stupidities here without adding another one.
Hugs
then maybe they should not get pregnant.
The Elders of Zion are angry they can’t kill black babies anymore. Amat Sila!
Actually the elders of Zion want to depopulate white population as most of abortions in US are in poor Black, Hispanic and minority areas. The educated rich don’t want to have kids anymore. There will be an explosion of urban colored babies and no safety net. Jews are setting up US for self destruction.
We are aware and will destroy them if we have to.
Elders of Zion are angry they can’t kill black babies legally!
You’re a good example of why its a waste of time to read comments under articles at this site. Were you always this fucking stupid? Thought so….good luck with the toilet cleaning job.
Joe senil corrupted mafia nazi jew digital parazite is an alive abortion !!!! is mother was a senil nazi parazite that should have made an abortion !!! Pedo lgbt frank and senil stain or stalin lgbt green parazite !!!!!
That should give them something to talk about at their next feces eating cocktail party.
Putin again activated his agents in America to divert attention from Ukraine! Putin controls the Supreme Court!!!
And what is “NOT” being reported that is making Supreme Court history (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-supreme-court-protects-police-miranda-lawsuits-2022-06-23/)!…
Cause .gov will need to “Praetorian guards” to surround them when the entitlement(s) and pensions ALL GO “BOOM”!…
Poke it with a fork!… America is done!!!
This is not even a big deal to 90% of Americans. If you don’t want a baby, don’t open your legs. If that’s too hard for you, just use free contraceptives provided by every city in every state. What’s the outrage? Most Americans don’t like having to pay for you to murder your children.
What the heck is going on in the US ? DEAL WITH IT ! Why making a FUSS about a court decision that give each state the right to decide on abortion law. If you can’t have abortion in your state, just move your ASS to your next available State with an abortion clinic. There’s gonna be at least 20 states with abortion clinics for all those women in need. Abortion is a serious matter. It’s a question of life and death. Restrictions have to be put into law to protect the baby and the mother on those abortion laws.
Great empires have come and gone throughout history. The US empire is yet another one that eventually will be confined to the history books of the future. It’s not a question of will it but when. Goodbye USA. I know I will celebrate the downfall of this modern day poor excuse of an empire should it go down within my lifetime.
True, but US has been the most destructive inhuman savage in history and has brought nothing but misery to the world and its own brainwashed moronic people. In mere 240 years the US which is basically a continuation of Anglo bastards has destroyed more countries and killed millions of civilians just for plunder of resources and racist bloodlust.
Johan Galtung predicts full collapse before 2030
USA morons prevent crack wshore from aborting retards like Sawyer, puppet, other homeless junkies…this guarantees a higher production of brain damaged cowards, deformed autistic cretins….this will accelerate demise of the great satan
