The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.

With sorrow—for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection—we dissent.

We’re Not Going Back to the Time Before Roe. We’re Going Somewhere Worse

We are entering an era not just of unsafe abortions but of the widespread criminalization of pregnancy.

May the future generations of America despise these disgusting old people in the Supreme Court.

Great country we have where guns have more rights than folks over their own bodies.

It's pretty explicit too:

Held: The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives

It's hard not to feel hopeless when these old fucks get to rule over us like kings with lifetime appointment.

I'll just say this as vaguely as I can. Whatever happens to these conservative justices happens.

6-3 too? I thought Roberts at least was better than that, guess not.

Thank you, 2016 protest voters. Everything is proceeding like us "alarmists" predicted. Next up they'll go for a national ban. mark my words

And there it is. I wonder how much the leak will have soften the response to this. I think a lot of the outrage will have already simmered.

Anyway, this sucks.

Sorry to all the women who live in the US, especially the ones trapped in red states.

I knew this was coming and I still feel like crying. The amount of suffering that is going to come as a result of this decision is just...I don't understand it. I don't understand how someone could reach a decision like this while being fully aware of the consequences of it, which you know they are.

Fucking monsters, all of them.

This country is quickly becoming beyond saving. I hope the people take power back into their own hands and show the justices some justice.

The court has completely invalidated itself. If it's just going to swing and overturn itself every 50 years then it's just a partisan machine. What a trash institution for a trash country.

This was for told in 2016, but nobody believe it would happen.

This is the reason I cried the Hillary lost, knowing the Supreme Court was lost for decades to come.

"Second ruling"

They're trying to drown it out. They know this will negatively affect millions of people.

I want to make sure I don't say something to get me banned, but this would be something worth violently protesting about; especially from women. Every one of those judges who did this should be ganged up on when showing their faces in public.

A lot of people did. The Dems have all three branches. Nothing changes. I'll always check a box but it feels ceremonial at best. Republicans win even when they lose.

EDIT: I phrased this improperly and I apologize. My intent was not to discourage voting. I understand how the system works. I feel helpless and disheartened and didn't express myself clearly.
