Hollywood And Political Figures React To Report Supreme Court Voted To Overturn Roe V. Wade Per Draft Opinion: “They Have Gone Too Damn Far”

As we’ve warned, SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion – they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights.

Manchin is blocking Congress codifying Roe. House has seemingly forgotten about Clarence Thomas. These 2 points must change https://t.co/5Isec0osV0

Tonight our highest court declared war on more than half of its citizens— women and birthing people everywhere. The overturning of Roe V Wade is a political act of violence against us and we will not accept it. We will fight and we will not stop. EVER. https://t.co/K0wuVKXxho

Two Supreme Court seats were stolen by Republicans. One third of the Supreme Court was appointed by a traitor.

Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.

Our daughters, sisters, mothers, and grandmothers will not be silenced.

The world is about to hear their fury.

California will not sit back. We are going to fight like hell. https://t.co/EhwSWXiZhx

Those motherf*****s really did it. First they came for Black voters, then they targeted LGBTQ+ families. Now, women of America, they’re overruling Roe v. Wade.

We have to unite and strike back. Take to the streets. Overwhelm them at the ballot box. They have gone too damn far.

Honestly, what's going to have to happen is states with legalized abortion will open their doors to women seeking abortions. There will be a network of travel vouchers, plans to arrange/provide abortion services. It's not an even slightly perfect plan. But it'll have to be.

It is a fundamental right for a woman to make her own health decisions. We must protect the right to choose and codify Roe v Wade into law.

The draft SCOTUS opinion—allowing laws banning abortion in all cases, including rape—shows a right-wing majority poised to destroy Roe, Casey and the constitutional right to privacy.

Striking down fundamental rights, they seek to usher in an Orban-style “illiberal democracy.”

In light of the reported decision of the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade, CO remains a state where freedom is respected and where any person has the ability to live, work, thrive, and raise a family on their own terms. pic.twitter.com/kqz75vEJ8J

PSA: if Roe falls, your constitutional right to birth control will also be in jeopardy.

This has never just been about abortion. It’s about controlling & criminalizing our bodies.

If this report proves true, it means that SCOTUS has stripped women of their rights to equality, autonomy, and reproductive health.

Last year, the House voted to codify Roe v. Wade. The Senate must end the filibuster and pass this legislation immediately. https://t.co/p2xfplJ2eH

REMINDER: The draft opinion leaked to Politico is not an official decision. Abortion is a right and Roe is still the law of the land.
