___

鈥淭hey did it. THEY DID IT TO US! #SCOTUS has overturned #RoevWade, enshrined in the Constitution as settled law for over 50 years. How dare they? This #SCOTUS is absolutely tone-deaf to the will and even the actual needs of the American people.鈥 鈥

鈥淭his Supreme Court is an absolute disaster. From giving people the right to carry guns to taking away Women鈥檚 rights of autonomy over their own bodies. We weren鈥檛 being reactive, we saw it coming. 鈥

鈥淚鈥檓 absolutely terrified that this is where we are 鈥 that after so many decades of people fighting for women鈥檚 rights to their own bodies, today鈥檚 decision has stripped us of that.鈥 鈥

鈥淚t鈥檚 very hard to be told by your country that your life that you鈥檙e actually living is not as important as some dividing cells.鈥 鈥

鈥淭his is a dark day in American history. The Supreme Court destroyed women鈥檚 right to choose. The result will shatter women鈥檚 lives, make children & families poorer, increase the financial burden on men & erode the American economy. This is a terrible tragedy for all of us.鈥 鈥

鈥淕utted. Now more than ever we have to use our voice and power! WE the people. 鈥

鈥淣ot too long ago, this would have been dystopian sci-fi. But the legacy of the 2016 election and the indelible mark of the GOP is printed here in black and white. How much farther this will go once again depends on American voters. Blame extremism or apathy, but this is America.鈥 鈥

鈥淭oday is hard, but we are not done here because in this country the conversation and fight for our civil rights will always continue. Equality for all, not just for some. Stand together with those who need our help most right now.鈥 鈥

鈥淲hat a sad day for this country. Guns for everybody and no reproductive rights. Twisted. Twisted.鈥 鈥

鈥淚t鈥檚 the best Supreme Court the 19th Century has yet produced.鈥 鈥

鈥淭oday鈥檚 Supreme Court ruling overturning #RoeVsWade will have deadly consequences, with the harm falling hardest on people of colour who already face disproportionate discrimination in our country and grapple with a severe maternal mortality crisis.鈥 鈥

鈥淎MERICA, IF you have NEVER VOTED, NOVEMBER is YOUR choice.鈥 鈥

鈥淵eah, ain鈥檛 NOBODY telling me what I can & can鈥檛 do with my body. Ain鈥檛 nobody telling me who I get to love or marry for that matter. America 鈥 you鈥檙e in for the fight of your life.鈥 鈥

鈥淚 wish more people understood that the decision to have an abortion is deeply personal and complex. It鈥檚 a decision that should be treated with compassion and empathy, not vilified or criminalized.鈥 鈥
