Shock, anger, and disbelief—this is how many Americans and people all over the world feel after the US Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to abortions. What this means is that states can decide, individually, whether or not to permit abortions and what restrictions to impose.

Some people see this landmark decision by the Supreme Court as taking away the right to bodily autonomy, putting people’s health in danger, and even view it as a ‘war on women’ and going back in time as far as women’s rights are concerned. Many celebrities, public figures, and average Americans have expressed their outrage and have condemned the decision, and we’ve collected some of their most powerful reactions to show you just how deeply the injustice runs.

From actors Danny DeVito and Halle Berry to singer Taylor Swift and far more, stars are loud and clear about the fact that they will not stay silent on such an important issue. Meanwhile, powerful figures such as former First Lady Michelle Obama and former presidential candidate Bernie Sanders have also shared their thoughts about the decision.

Bored Panda got in touch with celebrity expert Mike Sington, who explained the importance of stars and public figures denouncing the Supreme Court's decision and the impact this might have. "Celebrities and public figures speaking out against Roe v. Wade being overturned has been very important, especially for young people. Freedom of choice has been a right granted to Americans for 50 years, so younger people don’t know what a world is like without that freedom," he told us.

According to pop culture and entertainment expert Mike, stars we know and respect can have a major impact when it comes to sensitive, polarizing issues.

"I think it’s the sensitive issues like this that celebrities have the most impact on because it tells the public they are not alone in the feeling of despair they are having by a fundamental right being taken away," he told Bored Panda.

Realistically speaking, it's very unlikely that the Supreme Court or influential politicians will change their minds about Roe v. Wade. However, this doesn't mean that speaking up against the court's decision isn't important. Quite the opposite. This might galvanize Americans to head to the polls this Fall and vote in order to protect their rights and interests.

"The impact celebrities have will not be on the Supreme Court itself, and I don’t expect it to change the opinions of politicians either. What celebrities can do is drive people to the polls this November to actually change who the politicians are representing them," Mike said.

"Other rights granted by the Supreme Court are now in jeopardy, so it will be important to have political representatives in place that can turn those rights into laws," celebrity expert Mike pointed out why it's essential to vote.

Bored Panda also wanted to get Mike's take on how social media has reacted to Roe v. Wade being overturned. "I’m on Twitter a lot, and I’ve seen nothing but widespread condemnation of the Court’s opinion. Polling confirms what I’m seeing on Twitter. The vast majority of Americans support a woman’s right to choose."

Protests against the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade broke out over the weekend not just in the United States but also around the world. It’s not a surprise that many people are shocked at the court’s decision: it overturned a nearly-50-year-old precedent that had made abortion legal in the US. 

Roe v. Wade refers to a case that started in 1969 when a 25-year-old woman, Norma McCorvey, using the pseudonym ‘Jane Roe’ challenged the criminal abortion laws in Texas, which, at the time, made abortions illegal except when the mother’s life was in danger. The district attorney for Dallas County, Henry Wade, defended the anti-abortion law.

I had endometriosis and suffered for decades with the consequences. I was over 30 and requested a hysterectomy to stop the symptoms. The doctors refused saying I may change my mind and want more kids. I said "That's not your choice, it's mine and I don't want any more kids." They still refused. Years later when my endo hit it's peak and I was in my forties, I still got refused. How does any of this make sense. My body, my choice. What are you saving my uterus for?

In 1973, the woman’s appeal made it to the US Supreme Court and it was then decided that abortion laws ran counter to the constitution because they infringed on a woman’s right to privacy. In short, the court ruled that governments could not prohibit abortions and that the constitution protected women’s rights to terminate their pregnancy.

Fast forward to today and it becomes clear why so many Americans are up in arms against the overturning of this decision. Something that was a constitutionally-protected right has now become vulnerable to decisions made at the state level. Some feel as though half a century’s progress has become undone.

And some states are already taking steps to ban abortions there. Around half of the states are likely to introduce new restrictions or bans. Meanwhile, 13 states have already passed laws that trigger automatically to outlaw the termination of pregnancies after the Supreme Court’s ruling.

What this means in practice is that many women in the US will have to travel out-of-state for abortions or might be forced to resort to medically unsafe procedures. The cost of travel alone means that there’s a greater financial burden placed on them.

It's not a Christian idea, though. The Bible specifically says exactly what he did: that you're not alive until your first breath. Nowhere in the Bible is abortion prohibited. In fact, the punishment for killing a pregnant woman was death, but the punishment for causing her to miscarry was...a monetary fine. Anti-abortionists are not Christian.

People who base their decisions on the bible only ever do so when it's in relation to controlling other people's lives and when it's something they personally don't like. So they can claim it's because God told them they were right, and not because they simply don't like it. They could give a s**t about the rest of the bible. You never see too many religious people going this crazy about people who work on the sabbath. Or when women become teachers (which is not allowed). Or when they commit adultery (which, according to the bible is when you even look at another woman in lust). Or divorce which is punishable by death. They say that all of that is 'how you interpret it'. But when it comes to women and gays they want to take it literally because it benefits their own personal distaste for those groups.

I don't think the Bible mentions abortion. A passage says harming or killing a pregnant woman results in an eye for an eye punishment, but the loss of a fetus results in a fine as determined by the husband and judges.

It alludes to it once. Numbers 5:27 - If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. ie if a woman has been unfaithful it advocates abortion, with or without the woman's consent. Doesn't sound like God is all that pro-life to me.

When religious people say that the issue is about "life", they are lying. It is really about ensoulment. Which no religion agrees on when that happens and even within Christianity there is no agreement and never has been. However the Jewish word for "spirit" and "breath" are the same exact word, so that is the connection the Rabbi is making in his post.

GENESIS 2.7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul... It's in the fucken Bible dude.... man wasn't a living soul until he took his first breath. So f**k all y'all Bible beaters who wanna say this shits in the Bible... you may be right in some cases. But the argument of when life begins is also in the Bible & proves y'all wrong. I'm not even religious... but I'm sick of y'all misquoting & knit picking Bible quotes to fit your narrative... so I decided to start reading that s**t so I can do the same back... 9/10x y'all don't even fucken know what I'm talking about because you haven't even read the damn Bible yourselves.

so running on that thought, there shouldn't be any tears when there is a miscarriage. It wasn't a viable fetus, it wouldn't have lived so therefore it shouldn't be said that a baby was lost. It should be said that a clump of cells didn't form correctly.

How is religion mixed in here? So does the Bible really have lines in that said force teenagers to birth out of wedlock? Bible allows premarital sex? So many single parents. If god is so good why do we have child abusers, hunger, debilitating diseases. If the child is innocent then why is he not surviving without womb, if life is a gift from God then why the child must suffer, the mistakes where made by adults. Genuinely interested to understand how Bible defines these issue. I grew up without religion, or believing in God. Does Bible which is 2000something years old, wipe away all the nations that have religion records longer than Christians? Who decides which religion is best? Which holy book says a woman most birth all bastards inflicted on her? What about a man who put his seed in a woman that wasn't his by marriage? So many questions.

As a woman who carried four children to term I disagree that a fetus isn't a life. That is besides the point when it comes to abortion. Abortion is awful, but often needed. Nobody has ever been happy about getting an abortion and a life is ended ... but sadly that is often the best option for the life that would be lived by an unwanted child with a parent incapable of raising it . Preach that . These lives that are being "saved" are most likely to be full of misery and abuse ... and possibly ended by the people forced into having them

That is not stated in the Bible, but it is implied that a fetus was not considered a person because the penalty for hurting a woman who was pregnant and miscarried was simply a fine. But if she herself died it was considered murder. I believe you may have gotten the part about "quickening" mixed up with what was legal under English Common Law when America was founded.

The Guttmacher Institute states that around 40 million women who can have children live in states where abortion rights will be restricted. The Institute’s research shows that around 860,000 abortions were performed in the US in 2019, while the Center for Disease Control (aka the CDC) puts the number at a slightly lower 630,000.

For instance, Disney has said that it’s committed to giving employees “comprehensive access” to affordable healthcare, which includes family planning and reproductive care, no matter where the workers live. This kind of support will have a very real impact. The company employs roughly 80,000 people at its Florida resort. Meanwhile, the state’s governor has signed a ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy which will take effect in just a few days, on July 1.

However until the baby's heart stop beating or she goes in sepsis, the doctors cannot do anything because it's illegal!!! All of you that support this decision just think of this story cause this is the future in America now!!! A fetus that will die anyway is more important than the woman carrying it!!!! The doctors are waiting for her to go in sepsis!!! They are literally watching her die because it's illegal to help her!!! That's the reality we are facing!!

🇨🇦 Thankful to be a Canadian/Australian. Body autonomy, good healthcare systems, decent minimum wage and gun control. We often take these things for granted because it all just seems so obvious… daily snippets of news from the US seem totally impossible to believe. We aren’t without our own faults or issues but the heartache for those with an ounce of intelligence and compassion over there must be so hard to cope with every single day. It’s horrifying to just even imagine, I can’t fathom actually living it.

I have a son who flat out has no respect for this decision. I told him to bring home any baby he creates so I can care for them. And when he leaves a girl, I will bill him for 18 years. He needs to have consequences too, it takes two. If he gets a girl pregnant, it’s his responsibility too. If he thinks she needs to have it, it’s his responsibility too. If you make the girl have a child she’s not ready for, you will take care of it when it’s born!

Not even carry and give birth. A woman I worked with was pregnant and the fetus died in the womb. This was before Roe V Wade and she was forced to carry a dead baby inside her for months before it became a threat to her life and they were forced to do surgery to save her. But they had to wait until it was deemed "surgical procedure" and not "abortion" to avoid prosecution. How insane is that?

This needs to be higher. Our shared anguish is not your political fundraiser! 😡

@Jiminy - At 6 weeks, an embryo does not have a fully formed heart. Rather, it has a cluster of cells (that eventually forms into a heart) that emits electrical signals, which can be detected on an ultrasound. The heartbeat “sound” on an ultrasound is actually generated by the ultrasound machine itself during this time period.

And as long as we allow the status quo we will never have them. Look at what happened to Bernie in the primary.

Sadly, a number of Tory MPs, some of them sitting as ministers, have been on record as wanting to restrict abortion rights in the UK. People say "It's the USA, it's none of our business". But IT IS. Where the radical right of America leads, the radical right in the UK follows. The one thing this ruling teaches the world is that rights are never "settled". Progress is not inevitable. You have to fight for basic rights and dignity every single day. Because there is always somebody willing to take them away. And it's always a bloody Tory.
