By overthrowing Roe against Wade, the United States Supreme Court has given the American people a fresh start in life, and I commend the judges for their courage. Former United States President Barack Obama calls the Supreme Court’s decision “an attack on essential freedoms.” “The court’s logic means that legislators will be able to dictate that women carry the child until term, no matter how early and no matter what the consequences that led to it – even rape and incest,” Obama said. Democrats’ Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who for several years has been a clear voice when it comes to women’s rights and abortion, says on Twitter that the decision will make abortion more dangerous, especially for poor and marginalized groups. – People will die because of this decision. And we will never stop until abortion rights are restored in the United States. Nancy Pelosi, the leader of the House of Representatives, says it is malicious of the US Supreme Court to set aside the federal right to abortion. “Today, the Republican-controlled Supreme Court has achieved the Republicans’ dark and extreme goal of tearing away women’s right to make their own health choices,” Pelosi said in a statement, according to NTB.
