I'm also married so it's not like I'm out here being promiscuous and even if I was it shouldn't matter. 

I'll never understand the fear of promiscuous women.

This is going to be a tough road ahead for women. No one should have a baby that doesnt want one. My hubby and I have one toddler, which we desperately wanted, and still OMG its so hard. There are career and financial trade offs we are constantly juggling. The US is not a welcoming place for parents in general. I can only imagine that how bad its going to be for women carrying an unwanted pregnancy. They are already discriminated against in the work force; but without guaranteed paid maternity leave, these young women will probably be forced to go to work the day after giving birth--a major health risk.

******** is not considered a constitutional right and will be up to each individual state to decide the rules. 

[jordeezy river red]

Just IMO I think this happened NOW so that a new case can be tried so that ******** law can be more succinct to ******** rather than Roe vs WADE framing it as a "right to privacy". Both sides of the political divide is behind this. They do not want Roe VS Wade any longer because antivaxers could use it in future court arguments. Nothing happening in this country is coincidence.

Wake up and vote.

Absolutely shocked and disgusted. This makes me glad I live in the UK cause although we have a messed up government I don't even think they'd be capable of doing something like this.

So much for women's rights.

In the decision for this, Justice Clarence Thomas targeted contraception, LGBTQ ***ual relationships and marriage NEXT! If you are in the United States, vote for Democrats for ****'s sake. The Republicans will destroy this country through greed and misguided religious fundamentalism. They have NO PLANS to solve society's ills. They are a fascist party.

This is not true. Roe v. Wade needed to be codified (which means that Congress and State legislatures needed to make it officially a law instead of relying on a court case). Do NOT both sides this. This was a Republican mission and why they didn't let Barack Obama nominate a justice in his last year as President.

They won't. This country is so stupid. They will distract themselves and forget about this. It is so sad. Truly living in an idiocracy.

Let's see what happens from here. I blame both sides and you can't change my mind. Both sides are equally partisan and spread conspiracy theories that are disrupting democracy.

You are part of the problem then. One side is doing the damage. The other side is just not united and focused enough. Yes, there are problems on both sides, but one side is actively disrupting Democracy: the Republicans.

By saying "both sides" you make it so you don't have to do any research on the specifics on why we are where we are. It's a cop out to not vote and only allow the Republicans to take control.

Since Roe v. Wade was put into existence in the 70s, Republicans fought against it. Now they're targeting gay marriage and gay relationships. And they're targeting the right to vote. Democrats do not do these things. They just squander their opportunities with trivial in-fighting (thank you, Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin for that). 

But you won't change your mind. So how convenient for you. You don't have to take in any new information. Must be nice to be aggressively ignorant so that you don't have to THINK.

and not to discredit or distract from the serious removal of protection for basic human rights and women’s rights that just happened, but Clarence Thomas (one of the Supreme Court judges) explicitly advocated for overturning gay rights in this ruling:

 

I just looked it up and one of these court cases goes back to 2003 (!!) and ruled that gay s e-x is not illegal. So Republicans want to go after gay marriage and gay s-e xx. Despicable and deplorable.

From a Texans perspective: 

I hope people know that the majority of people in Texas are pro ********, the majority are pro LGBTQ right to marry. And something that ALMOST no one outside of Texas knows, the VAST majority of Texans are for increased gun regulation (bc we actually know how to use guns here...only people who cant shoot for s.hit need high capacity magazines).

Federal protections are the only guaranteed human rights we have here in Texas...and those rights are already too few and poorly enforced.

I hope yall understand that its the government that wants these measures, not the Texas people.

As a fellow Texan I 100% agree! I know the outside world think of all of us as racists rednecks but we aren't especially in the larger cities, Like Dallas, Houston, Austin. I mean hell Austin prides its self on being weird and liberal.

A country of "freedom". It shocks me how behind America is. It's getting as bad as some countries in the Middle East.

This is very sad 💔💔.....  Is the elimination of privacy in the bedroom a joke or real? Oh my goodness. United States 1820

This is a lose for women who want to abort their babies but I’m not sure how this relates to gay marriage

The same Supreme Court justice that ruled on this, said other similar decisions involving due process needed to be revisited as well… decisions involving contraception, same s** relationships, and same s** marriage were specifically pointed out by the Supreme Court justice.

Justice Clarence Thomas wrote the decision representing the court's decision on this. In it, he basically said overturning Roe was the first step. They also want to overturn Supreme Court decisions that allowed contraception, gay s*xual relationships and gay marriage. 

The Republican platform in 2016 and 2020 called for overturning the Supreme Court decision that allowed gay marriage.
