Ronn Blitzer & Kelly Laco: SUPREME RULING – In landmark ruling SCOTUS releases highly-anticipated decision on Roe v. Wade, weeks after unprecedented opinion leak: The case before the court centered on a Mississippi law banning abortions after 15 weeks
The Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and giving individual states the power to allow, limit, or ban the practice altogether.
The ruling came in the court’s opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Republican-led state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down a lower court ruling that stopped the 15-week abortion ban from taking place.
“We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the court’s opinion.
The opinion comes after a leak of a draft opinion from February striking down Roe caused nationwide debate and promoted pro-choice activist protests at the homes of the six conservative justices. In addition, dozens of pro-life pregnancy centers were vandalized since the opinion leak, Catholic churches were targeted for protests and unrest, and a suspect was charged with attempted murder for allegedly trying to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh…

Where it should have been all along. Who’ve thunk it that “Orangeman Bad” would’ve been responsible for the end of Roe v Wade?
Twitchy: BREAKING: SCOTUS’ 6-3 Dobbs ruling effectively overturns Roe v. Wade … now brace for the Outrage Mob … Indeed. Can’t wait for the Pelosi/AOC/Schumer/etc. outrage as well.
Get ready for the gnashing of the teeth — and worse. They never take any hindrance of their blood sacrifice lying down.

It’s clear @SpeakerPelosi didn’t even read the opinion.
She just repeated a lie.
Where are the fact checkers?!

Speaker Pelosi just repeated the false claim that this decision now undo cases on contraception and other areas. That is simply untrue and the Court expressly addressed that false claim in the opinion…

…The majority rejects that claim and notes that “perhaps this is designed to stoke unfounded fear that our decision will imperil those other rights.” Having the Speaker refer to the next election despite the express statement to the Court seems to reaffirm that view.

…Speaker Pelosi just called these justices “right-wing politicians.” It is another attack on the integrity of the Court and its members. Yet, even law deans have called these justices “partisan hacks.” https://t.co/vEgxiTbK0u

Is this before or after she claimed to be a devout Catholic?

She knows it’s untrue. Stirring the pot is the goal. Inciting is the goal.

It’s important to remind people that overturning Roe v Wade does NOT ban abortions.
It simply returns the decision to the states.
Abortions will be EXPANDING in many blue states as a result. https://t.co/ip5uVqFybk

THE MSM begins its conniption fit..
Flagging this as misinformation. Courts cannot “eliminate” a constitutional right.
The Supreme Court rightly held the “constitutional right to abortion” DOES NOT EXIST.
