    Actually all the decision did was return to the individual states the right to decide what their state want. It is a Constitutional Right of the states that has been returned to the states. Personally I wished that the Conservatives had first used Roe v Wade to shut down Planned Parenthood abortion clinics as they by their very existence were in direct violation of the right to privacy of pregnant women seeking an abortion. The Right to Privacy was the actually ruling of the original Roe v Wade decision.

    The USA has gone backwards 50 years in time compared to almost every other country in the world.

    President Biden, in anticipation of this ruling, has four executive actions that he could soon declare.

    Abortion services will remain legal in many states but quickly become illegal in others.

    A sad day for women in America that will be remembered as the day that women become 2nd class citizens no longer free to make decisions about their own bodies.
    It is about time the rest of the world starts to recognize that the unborn do have a right to life.

    There was NEVER a right to an abortion.

    Currently it looks like the large population east cost and west coast states will. In the heartland it is a different story.

    ... where does it say in the Constitution that you have a right to own an AR-15, or have the right to drive a car without wearing a seat belt or scream fire in a crowded theater? The world has moved on from 235 years ago when the Constitution was written.

    It is both lazy and insincere to say that just because something was not written in a 235 year old document it should apply to today.

    Contraception is not in the Constitution, the right to travel is not in the constitution, gay marriage is not in the constitution, women are not in the constitution, people of colour are not in the constitution. Are you eager to take those rights away as well?

    Regardless, for the first time in US history a women's constitutional right, deemed fundamental and relied upon by millions of women has been taken away by a court with a majority of judges appointed by a party that has not won a popular presidential election in 30 years. The US has a Senate that is controlled by minority rule and a House that suffers from gerrymandering that amplifies and undermines US democracy.

    Hopefully, you do not have a daughter or a niece who now will be forced to endure the terror of an unwanted pregnancy!

    Media giants, including Disney, reaffirm financial support for those seeking abortions



    Media giants have become the latest corporate titans to reaffirm financial support for abortion-seekers following Friday's Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.

    The entertainment goliath Disney assured employees Friday they would be able to afford a similar level of health care outside of their home area if they needed to travel to access health services, including family planning and pregnancy-related services, a Disney spokesperson told CNN.

    Meanwhile, the cable and media giant Comcast said Friday that travel for abortion services is covered under a company-wide employee benefit. Under the policy, Comcast may pay each employee up to $4,000 per trip if the employee needs to travel to access a covered health care service. The coverage is capped at three trips and $10,000 per year, whichever comes first, but the benefit resets each year, meaning that employees who require follow-up health visits out-of-state could benefit substantially from the policy over multiple years, Comcast told CNN. The benefit applies to all Comcast and NBCUniversal employees, the company said, and the amount paid typically depends on the type of expense incurred.

    And Warner Bros. Discovery — which owns CNN — said in a statement that it "immediately" expanded its benefits program on Friday following the court's ruling to cover abortion-related travel expenses.

    "Warner Bros. Discovery is committed to offering our employees across the country access to consistent and comprehensive healthcare services," a company spokesperson told CNN. "In light of the Supreme Court's recent decision, we immediately expanded our healthcare benefits options to cover transportation expenses for employees and their covered family members who need to travel to access abortion and reproductive care."

    Coalition of 83 prosecutors vow not to prosecute abortions



    A coalition of 83 prosecutors collectively representing 87 million people from 28 states and territories have publicly vowed not to prosecute those seeking and performing abortions in the wake of the Supreme Court’s opinion clearing the way for bans and legal action.

    “Not all of us agree on a personal or moral level on the issue of abortion. But we stand together in our firm belief that prosecutors have a responsibility to refrain from using limited criminal legal system resources to criminalize personal medical decisions,” according to a joint statement sent by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Cascón. “As such, we decline to use our offices’ resources to criminalize reproductive health decisions and commit to exercise our well-settled discretion and refrain from prosecuting those who seek, provide, or support abortions.”

    The joint statement asserts that criminalizing abortion will not end the practice, but will inhibit safe procedures and inhibit those needing medical, social, and law enforcement help from seeking it.

    “Prosecutors, police, and our medical partners cannot do our jobs when many victims and witnesses of crime or other emergencies are unwilling to work with us for fear that their private medical decisions will be criminalized,” the release states.

    “We are horrified that some states have failed to carve out exceptions for victims of sexual violence and incest in their abortion restrictions; this is unconscionable,” the statement said. “And, even where such exceptions do exist, abortion bans still threaten the autonomy, dignity, and safety of survivors, forcing them to choose between reporting their abuse or being connected to their abuser for life.”

    The prosecutors are comprised from states that plan to protect reproductive rights like California and Illinois, but also include those from 11 states that plan to implement stricter restrictions like Texas, Louisiana, and Alabama.

    “This is a sad day in America,” said Gascón, who is one of the 83 elected prosecutors who signed the pledge. “The Supreme Court has told half the population that it has no right to bodily autonomy. One Justice said out loud that we should reconsider even more rights, including the right of everyone to love and marry who they choose. I grieve for all those women who have lost so much today, and for all those people who live in fear that they will lose more tomorrow.”

    The represented states and territories include Georgia, California, Missouri, Virginia, New York, Maryland, Alabama, Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Mississippi, Texas, Vermont, Oregon, Illinois, Tennessee, Massachusetts, Maine, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Hawaii, Indiana, Illinois, Washington, Mississippi, New Mexico, Kansas, Florida, Louisiana, North Carolina, the District of Columbia, and the Northern Mariana Islands.
