The Supreme Court took away a personal right and handed it to state legislators. First time this has been done in American history.

@jamessherman3925 Actually these days extreme right wingers are ditching federalism when it suits them.

@DutchStar That is the judicial cover they give to their religiously backed ruling but the Supreme Court has held for 50 years that it is a constitutional right. Now the court is just a political and religious body. In a few years a different court can over rule this decision.

@juniorjohnson9509 Go back and read Roe. The Constitution doesn't specifically state that a person has a right to purchase birth control but the Court found that to be a right 60 years ago.

@apacheworrier3776 For 60 years the American legal system has recognized that a State have very limited ability to interfere with the right of the privacy of its residents. Today the Supreme Court showed that his right is not a right.

@olayinkaoladimeji Abortion isn't murder under American law and never has been treated that way.

@cult_of_odin It is in the same place where the right of a woman to buy contraceptives is. The 14th and 9th Amendments.

@Dustin030888 They allowed states to outlaw abortion and as of today, it is illegal in many states. There was a right to abortion, but this court has taken it away.

@joebama4222 Funny how the Catholic church says fetuses are human but doesn't give them funerals when they are miscarried.

@strawdemindset Yes it is a right. It still is and will be again when the Court changes personnel.

@PrinnyCast A woman can no longer get an abortion legally in many red states as of today. She could yesterday. She has lost a right. Plain and simple.

@Dustin030888 It was up until this morning.

@strawdemindset 9th Amendment "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." 14th Amendment right of due process: "No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law"

@Bill Randleman For 50 years the right was recognized until the right wing Catholics on the court decided to revoke it for made up reasons. If they can take it away, a court in a few years can reinstate it.

@juniorjohnson9509 The Court gutted the right to privacy so and opened the door to states making gay marriage unlawful, birth control access unlawful and any other invasion of the bedroom lawful.

@juniorjohnson9509 No. The Court's wrong decision means that states can outlaw abortion if they want. They took away the right from individuals.

@juniorjohnson9509 The founders also pass the bill of rights, specifically the 9th and 14th Amendments because they didn't trust states to protect individual rights. The Court in Roe recognized this and that is why women got to decide for themselves. The Catholic extremists on the Court in Dobbs decided to take away that individual right and hand it over to state governments.

@juniorjohnson9509 Women have lost rights as of yesterday. Their rights have been transferred to politicians. If you don't understand that basic fact, there is nothing I can do to help you understand reality.

Before today it was up to the individual. But the extreme Catholic Republicans on the Supreme Court don't trust individuals.

The extreme right won't stop there. They want a federal law banning all abortions.

It won't end abortion in red states, will just drive it underground like it was before.
