This is not the end for these backward thinking conservatives. #Vote!
Clarence Thomas writes, that the Supreme Court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell — rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

I really hope losing Roe motivates Democrats to vote in mass in the mid terms because this is all a result of Republican control in the senate, and the court is just getting started taking away our rights, next up contraception and gay marriage. #RoeVWade https://t.co/rVyPeGXJ3e

They will never end abortion.
Only safe abortion.
This is not about life. It’s about control.
Those motherfuckers. https://t.co/m9eAebqQcW— Sophia Bush (@SophiaBush) June 24, 2022
Most Americans believe the decision to have a child is one of the most sacred decisions there is, and that such decisions should remain between patients and their doctors.
Today’s Supreme Court opinion will live in infamy as a step backward for women's rights and human rights.

The insurrectionist-promoter’s husband siting on the Supreme Court wrote a concurring opinion taking aim at rulings legalizing contraception, same-sex relationships and same-sex marriage.
Maybe Thomas prefers Americans have sex with their pistols and marry their AK-47’s.

Banning abortion will disproportionately impact people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, people struggling to make ends meet, young people, and those living in rural areas.

The right to decide when to start a family or not is a choice every individual should be able to make on their terms when the time is right for them.
This freedom and dignity is something we should all fight to preserve.

This is a dark day in American history. The Supreme Court destroyed womens’ right to choose. The result will shatter women’s lives, make children & families poorer, increase the financial burden on men & erode the American economy.
This is a terrible tragedy for all of us.
— Aisha Tyler (@aishatyler) June 24, 2022
This Supreme Court is an absolute disaster. From giving people the right to carry guns to taking away Womens rights of autonomy over their own bodies. We weren’t being reactive we saw it coming.

4 of the 5 SCOTUS justices ending #RoevWade were appointed by presidents the majority of US voters voted against.
The 5th was appointed by a POTUS who opposed the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
There are more of us.

They did it. THEY DID IT TO US! #SCOTUS has overturned #RoevWade, enshrined in the Constitution as settled law for over 50 years. How dare they? This #SCOTUS is absolutely tone-deaf to the will and even the actual needs of the American people. #WakeUpAmerica

I hope the 53% of white women who just couldn’t stomach voting for @HillaryClinton are happy that they’ve just ensured that their daughters grow up in #Gilead.
A woman’s right to choose is a HEALTH decision.
A PERSONAL health decision.
I’m a Christian and know that.

At least the Supreme Court all said in their laughable senate auditions that they respect precedent. So that was nice.
