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.

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.
Vote this November.— born2run99 (@born2run99) June 24, 2022

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.
