WASHINGTON, D.C. – Pro-life activists rejoiced as pro-choice activists expressed disappointment after the Supreme Court overturned the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, giving individual states the authority to decide their abortion laws.

"I'm shaking, and we obviously knew this was coming," a pro-choice activist told Fox News following the decision. "It's still [a] shock that we can lose our rights like this."

"How can our nation be blessed if we just don't care about life in the womb and the unborn," a pro-life activist said. "Yeah, we are very stoked that this is going back to the states."

The Supreme Court's ruling came in the case Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The decision effectively ends the recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and gives individual states the power to allow, limit or ban the practice altogether.

EXCLUSIVE: Former President Donald Trump praised the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade Friday, telling Fox News that the ruling "will work out for everybody."

When asked whether he feels he played a role in the reversal of Roe v. Wade, after having appointed three conservative justices to the high court, the former president told Fox News: "God made the decision."

Trump, during his presidency, appointed conservative Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court.

With those appointments, the high court became majority conservative, with Chief Justice John Roberts, Justice Samuel Alito, Justice Clarence Thomas, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett.

The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade Friday resulted in meltdowns from many liberal journalists blaming former President Trump and the conservative justices.

However, some in the liberal media actually suggested the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was partly responsible. Taking their grievances to social media, journalists and other media figures slammed the formerly revered liberal icon for not retiring sooner.

Ginsburg died in September of 2020 at 87 years old, leaving a vacancy for President Trump to nominate Justice Amy Coney Barrett to take her place on the Court.

Rebecca Fishbein, a freelance writer for liberal outlets such as Jezebel and Vice, suggested Ginsburg and President Obama were responsible for this outcome.

That is known as the Slippery Slope Fallacy. A step in a direction does not require us to make the next step in the same direction.
That’s isn’t a slippery slope because lawmakers in Idaho and Louisiana have openly spoke about going after birth control next.
 
Has the Left published its Roe v. Wade plunder & pillage schedule yet? Asking for a friend.

Thomas called the rulings into question. There is no fallacy here, just providing his words.
 
They are already posting warnings threatening Justice Thomas and his wife.
 
The Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade paves the way for at least half of the 50 states in the country to ramp up restrictions or outright ban abortion. Thirteen have trigger laws for after the final ruling was made.

Meanwhile, leaders in others states, those mainly led by Democrats, have pledged to become sanctuaries.

Here are the highlights of where all 50 states, as well as Washington, D.C., stand right now on abortion:

As a result of today’s SCOTUS ruling, Mississippi’s abortion law is now very similar to those in most European countries.
  • 47 out of 50 European nations limit elective abortion prior to 15 weeks.
  • 14-week limit: Five countries limit elective abortion to 14 weeks, including Germany and Belgium.
  • 12-week limit: A majority of European countries (27) limit elective abortion to 12 weeks, including Denmark, France, and Norway.
  • No European nation allows elective abortion through all 9 months of pregnancy, as is effectively permitted in several U.S. states, including California, Massachusetts, Maryland, and New York.

All the reversal of Roe vs Wade does is to return the abortion issue t the voters of a state. If they oppose abortion it will become illegal. Otherwise it will not become illegal. The same is true of birth control.
