35 Reactions People Posted Online To The Impending US Supreme Court Decision To Overturn Abortion Rights
In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a landmark decision in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. But now the Supreme Court wants to turn the U.S. into a dystopian hellscape by overturning abortion rights.
According to the initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito that circulated inside the court, “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start.” The document also stated that “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
The decision, which is expected to go formal in June, will open up the nation’s 31 Republican-controlled states to pass severe or total abortion restrictions. And this did not sit well with people who went into tears watching Elizabeth Warren fuming with anger on Tuesday when she gave her speech.
So they took to the internet to show rage and despair over the American court system that yet again failed its people, especially those at their most vulnerable.
The senator Elizabeth Warren lambasted the Supreme Court after the draft abortion opinion leak, reflecting the fuming anger people are feeling right now
'I am angry, upset and determined,' Massachusetts Democratic senator Elizabeth Warren said in her powerful speech after joining a protest at the Supreme Court on Tuesday
"This will fall on the poorest women in our country. This will fall on young women who have been abused, who are victims of incest."
Please watch this video. @ewarren is channeling the rage we are all feeling right now. Thank you, @SenWarren.pic.twitter.com/uIlPXeZGzL— Eliza Orlins (@elizaorlins) May 3, 2022
Many people agreed with Warren as they felt rage and despair over the Supreme Court mercilessly failing women and turning the country into a dystopian hellscape

Because these aren't "pro-lifers", they are pro-religion and pro-control. They don't give two shits what happens to the baby after it's born, and certainly not the mother during pregnancy, nor the nearly two decades afterward. I am livid.

I was going to say something similar to this. They don't give a flying rat's a*s about those babies. They give no aid to the women carrying them, they won't buy formula, diapers or clothes for those babies, they won't adopt those babies when they are abandoned, they won't do anything for the kids who end up in foster care, being handed over from "family" to "family" again and again. They won't contribute to education or helping them get a good start in their adult life. Pro-lifers are the scum of the earth

George Carlin put it best --- “They’re not pro-life. You know what they are? They’re anti-woman. Simple as it gets, anti-woman. They don’t like them. They don’t like women. They believe a woman’s primary role is to function as a brood mare for the state.”

Dear Nathan David It is a baby only after it is born. So nobody is murdering babies. As long as it is in the mother's womb it is a foetus. To explain things to simpletons like you, medical professionals use the term "baby" loosely. If you want to know the difference between embryo, foetus & a baby there are plenty of articles available with a simple search.

I appreciate the intention of this, but please can we get away from "if you don't want the baby just give it up for adoption". A pregnancy lasts 9 months. During which you entire body changes, it's exhausting and sometimes risky. It is also life-changing to grow and bear a baby. Don't act like this is a perfectly good solution. If I don't want a baby, I don't want to be forced to breed and bear one.

Yes but you are missing the point. OP is not saying that the alrernative to abortion is adoption. Op is saying that those so called "pro lifers" do not care at all for the women and the fetuses. If they did they would do the things that op mention.

No woman should be forced to bear a child she doesn’t want. She is not a handmaid so another family can have a child.
On May 2nd, POLITICO obtained a leaked initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito that sent shockwaves around the country. The document revealed that the Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, which granted a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction since 1973.

And I'm pro-Maria who found out that she was pregnant by suffering from hyperemisis gravidarum for the third time and now had to choose between burdening her existing kids and spouse with that pregnancy again while risking her own life again with a good risk of also removing all remaining mobility in her body and suffering PTSD and post-partum depression again or terminate. That is a legitimate, medical reason to terminate. Even if someone had paid my pregnancy bills, it still would have killed the family, ripped me and my spouse apart toward a divorce and then we'd have an extra life in the mix.

If pro-lifers are so pro-life then life may as well begin with the sperm. In which case every time a man ejaculates anywhere but inside a woman's vagina he is denying a baby's right to be born.

I'll reply to cowardly Nathan here since he isn't allowing any replies on his post. Smashing a kid's skull against the wall is not the same thing as having an abortion but it does address the problem of people having children when they're not ready. His entire problem is viewing it as killing a baby. Regardless of all the medical literature available, these people view a less than 20 week old fetus the exact same way that they view a fully developed child. If the fetus needs a host in order to survive, it is not the same thing as a baby.

I asked an OB-GYN about tubal ligation when I was in my early/mid 20s. He told me I wasn't old enough to make that decision, and that he would not do it. I asked if he would have the same answer if I was asking for advice on how to get pregnant. After some hemming & hawing he admitted he would not, but still would not consider the ligation. "What if 'Mr Right' comes along and he wants kids?" Then he's not Mr Right for me, now, is he? (For the record, I'm now 58 & still haven't changed my mind about not wanting children.)

I had a ligation done. Had to fight for that, having 2 kids already. My excuse was it’s reversible. Then I was a passenger in a motorcycle accident. Impact trauma ‘caused my uterus to basically fold in on itself (since it wasn’t attached to the ovaries). It’s no longer reversible. Just remove it. It causes more problems for my health now. But my useless uterus still belongs to everyone other then me. Fought for the ligation and unless I’m bleeding to death, I’m still in ‘viable birthing years’. Even though it’a so far past reversible. Pathetic.
POLITICO notes that no draft decision in the modern history of the court has been disclosed publicly while a case was still pending. Moreover, the document, labeled as a first draft of the majority opinion, includes a notation that it was circulated among the justices on Feb. 10.

For me if women can be forced to give their bodies to a fetus for 9 months then men should be able to be forced to donate part of their liver to a complete stranger to save their life. Nobody in their sane mind would pass a law that would force men to donate organs unwillingly to random strangers, even if the stranger would die. But suddenly when its "women only" organs it is ok to do so.

Right now, if a woman doesn’t have a heartbeat and is declared dead, you STILL can’t dictate what happens with her body. Unless she gave permission while she was alive, you can not harvest her organs for donations. Not even if that organ would save the life of her living child who desperately needs one. The “pro-life” crowd affords her corpse more bodily autonomy than they would afford her in life.

It's also worth noting and repeating endlessly that banning abortions will not stop women from getting abortions. It will stop a lot of women from getting safe abortions. It won't stop rich women from getting safe abortions. If you're pro-life, you should care about the lives of the mothers as much as you do for her fetus. Instead of talking about ending access to safe abortions, we should be talking about social programs to help people get ahead in life and have better solutions for people who find themselves in bad situations. A society where women do not have control over when they want to become mothers is not going to be a good society. We might as well turn our back on everything we've accomplished.

It’s not a person though, and that matters especially because this is also a human discussion. Someone who refuses to donate blood to their living, breathing child is not someone I want to be in the same room as. I don’t think they should face legal punishment but I would wish them nothing but absolute misery in life. A woman who gets an abortion is not hurting anyone and should not be put in that category.
Nubis Knight 3 years ago (edited)
How about: Abortion is legal till week 22/24. From this point on the chance for the fetus to survive outside the Uterus is over 50 % (if in intense medical care). So instead of an abortion women with unwanted pregnancies get a cost free C-section, the child automatically has to be adopted by the pro-lifers or next church that pays for all medical costs of mother and child. The mother will stay anonymous at all times. I'm sure church and pro-lifers back out?
T h e r e s a 3 years ago
I’m not entirely sure if you’re being sarcastic, but I still wanted to reply. I agree- if pro-lifers really wanted to make a difference, they would offer adequate medical care, costs covered, instead of shouting at the poor women who feel abortion is their only option that they’ll burn in hell. However at 22 weeks, although the baby’s viable, it would be ridiculous to require a c-section because at that point baby would require months in the NICU. That’s thousands of $ along with a ton of probable defects they’ll have for the rest of their lives. I’ve known two: one is partially blind, and one has severe breathing problems. Just pointing out that yessss ^ women should have more options but that’s not the way to go.

Definitely. If a fetus with no developed mind has more rights than an adult woman then a dog, who is much more intelligent than a human fetus, should have equal rights to a human. /s Obviously no because dogs are not as sapient as adult humans. But they should still have more rights. Spain has declared animals "sentient beings" in their laws so they are no longer considered mere property.

The loss of the right to safe, legal abortion will be a disaster for the economy. More unwanted pregnancies mean fewer women able to work (regardless of whether they want to or not), so a heavier burden on the short-staffed employees who are there. It means no second income coming in to pay for the ever-expanding family. It means higher medical bills and, because abortion bans fall most heavily on poor women of color, those costs will fall on people who are least likely to have health insurance. It means fewer women going to college and being stuck in the "pink ghetto" jobs that don"t pay a living wage. It means more women who can't afford to move out from an abusive partner...Oh, wait, I get it. That's what they WANT to happen!

This is a country I no longer recognize, nor believe in.

A singular and .egregious violation of trust, over a piece of paper, but not the same value placed women in the whole? It’s not just men who should and apparently can trust the justices. It’s women too. Not to mention, men don’t bare the burden of all the changes to bodies, and most of whom are a better argument for pro choice by their existence.

I think this is something that is not mentioned often enough when abortions come up: pregnancy, even the most normal one, is a serious health risk for women. In a modern society it's a lot less of a risk, but it is one still. Your life can change, ranging from getting hemorrhoids for life to simply passing away from an unforseen massive bleeding while delivering, and a lot in between these two. Those who actively want a child can also actively accept these risks. But why would we force even the slightest risk of death to someone in the name of saving another life? That's not an acceptable trade. Imagine being forced to give blood while you have a condition that gives you a 2 percent chance of bleeding out and nobody can help you, with the argument that some strager will die otherwise. You can't choose not to do it.

You do realize that removing access to abortion, or making it more difficult to obtain (read, Dr discretion as seen in the refusal to sterilize when requested), all but ensures a spike in preventable deaths in the exact medical scenarios listed in the post? No one is using abortion as a form of birth control. Where do you get this information? No one *wants* to go through the agony of abortion for any reason you might like to split hairs about. This whole notion of abortion being used as "birth control" comes from the Satanic Panic days of the 70's and 80's, which vilified any form of female autonomy, reducing women to the analogy of Eve and her apple being the whole reason why menstrual cycles exist. If I rolled my eyes any further, you'd hear the scraping.

One of the first Laws that Nelson Mandela rescinded when he was President of South Africa was the ban on abortion. This from a man who was in prison for 27 years. I do not live in an easy country - murder, assault, rape, rioting, etc - that law is still in power. Young girls as young age as, 12/13, can be given an abortion without parental permission, as they fear reprisal from the toxic masculinity and feminine, too sometimes. I am disgusted by THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA FOR THIS POSSIBLE OUTCOME AND FOR THE COUNTRY AS THE MOST EDUCATED, GOD-FEARING ENTITIY ON THIS EARTH.

My mom had one because she was being strung along by a married man (all charming and suave who would tell her he really loved her most etc), and even though she loved him and believed his lies, she didn't want to bring a kid into the occasion (it was bad enough I was witness to the whole thing) and a close friend of mine had one when we were 17-18 because her mother pressured her. It was devastating. She had named it already and everything. She has a daughter now, but still has a memorial for the one she gave up.
On Tuesday, following POLITICO’s report, President Joe Biden called a woman's right to have an abortion "fundamental.” He urged Congress to pass legislation codifying Roe, which was decided in 1973. Biden stated: “Roe has been the law of the land for almost fifty years, and basic fairness and the stability of our law demand that it not be overturned.”

No they won't. They'll get away with this because Americans are not smart. We have a major election every two years, and the Democrats skip every other one. Also, the Democrats are fractured and they're infighting over who's more progressive or too progressive or overly moderate or whatever, and we can't seem to learn from the Republicans and stand united. Vote your conscience in the primary election and then swallow your stupid pride and support your party's candidate in the major election. That's how we take this country back. Joe Biden is not a great or even very good President, but no what else he is not? He's not Donald trump or Ron Desantis or any of the other repugnant politicians out there that want his job. He may not be getting us all the things we want as progressives, but he's not looking to destroy this country. So Democrats need to get the f**k over themselves or else we will lose it all.

I wish that were the case but it's much more likely to be the top pic. It will happen subtly. Oppression always does. By the time enough people stand up to fight it it will be too late. And it doesn't help that there are women who are actively pushing us toward that top pic because they think they'll be part of the conservative wives club who are morally superior and therefore exempt. But one of the things I love about Handmaid's Tale is how they show that being part of the conservative group doesn't mean anything because you're still a woman. No matter how much you think 'oh not me I'm Christian/conservative/a 'good' woman'... you're still a woman. You're a house slave. You aren't picking cotton but you're still a slave and men in power will pretend like they respect you until you get 'out of line' and you'll find yourself in a red robe just like the rest of us.

Yes, Biden needs to step up and do the job he was elected for, not still be telling people they need to vote again to make their feelings known. They already did that and that's why Democrats have the White House, the Senate, and the House right now. He needs to do his damned job, and step up to do the right thing. He needs to kill the filibuster, the electoral college needs to be dissolved, ban corporate political donations, remove lifetime judicial appointments, and every living adult U.S citizen needs to have the right to vote, with no exceptions.

You're blaming Biden for things he has absolutely no authority to do. The Senate would have to kill the filibuster, and they don't have the votes. Dissolving the electoral college and removing lifetime judicial appointments would require constitutional amendments approved by 3/4 of the states. Banning corporate donations would require the SCOTUS to overturn its Citizens United decision. The President is not a dictator and cannot simply issue executive orders that have the strength of laws.

In what is considered "the developed world", yes. Overall world, no. Don't overlook the issues of so many others, please.

The USA seemingly used to be a beacon of freedom and quality of life. What happened? Unless you are rich, it seems the USA is turning into a third world country and theocracy?

They have never been a beacon of freedom or quality of life though. What about slavery? Or segregation? Or the institutional racism that is still rampant?

I certainly hope Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski (not sure on that spelling) are fricken happy. They were warned what was going to happen when they voted in Kavanaugh and Gorsuch and they did it anyway. Now they're all up in arms with the whole "We were promised this wouldn't happen". When tf did political judges suddenly not lie for political gain?! 78% of Americans think that abortion should be a choice left up to a woman and her doctor per a politico poll. The conservatives on the supreme court are under the impression they mean more than 78% of Americans.....

A heartbeat does not mean 'life'. If I culture heart muscle cells in a dish, they will start to contract semi-spontaneously. It's what they do. Also I'm getting serious N*zi vibes from the whole 'nark on women who have abortions so they go to prison and you get money as a reward'. Sorry for saying so.

People need to remember that there are a lot of white, Christian women leading this attack on abortion. They are the ones pushing their husbands to ban abortion and anything else that they "deem" against the Bible. Yes, 100% men should not be making laws for women's bodies. But we also need to call out these women that are supporting these men in this cause!!!!!!!

I really cannot understand why government needs to make laws on things that are private. Forbidding abortions is not going to increase the number of happy children that are loved and fully supported.

While I have allowed my license to practice to expire (I dind't renew it), I hold an MD. Thi sis a medical decision, based on several factors, including patient's quality of life, mental health, financial circumstances, and any given pre-existing conditions such as cysts, IBS, etc., that may affect the patient's health or the fetus's. Research from PEW among otheres shows that the demographics aren't at all what people pretend. And basic OB/GYN shows that yoyu're not aborting a precious itty bitty baby. You're removing what will, I'm sorry, look a lot like a salamander. ________ In short: GET OUT OF OUR MEDICAL DECISIONS.

We already call the US "Uncivilised", now we're going to have to find a new word. "Barbaric" perhaps?

Pro lifers are only pro life until the baby is born. After birth pro lifers no longer care if that baby lives or not.
