The US is so backward in so many ways. Just yesterday they allowed greater gun ownership.
I note idiot judge Clarence has his eye on other freedoms.
It’s crazy from the outside looking in
I'll never understand why they're called pro-life when they're just anti-choice. Massive step backwards for America, and for women's rights.
One step closer to being a Theocracy, what a truly awful country at the moment. Handmaid's Tale vibes.
The Supreme Court should be abolished.
No way should it be the aims of a particular party to get as many judges on as possible during their tenures.
There are so many good people in America but its led by idiots and the bible
The country is certainly slipping down the democratic league table:

usa land of the free, unless you get pregnant?
They are singing
Jesus loves the little children !
Turn out the lights
It’s as if they want to regress all the way back to 1776.
Backward religious morons
It’s mainly republicans. They would have more of a point if they didn’t treat people like scum AFTER they are born. They care little for lives gunned down or murdered by police.
That country is fecked!
Trump is wholly to blame, loaded the court, the bloke is an absolute c@nt!
No courts should be political or religious
Simply an unbelievable decision.
The only question now is what goes next?
I'm so grateful I don't live there.
Best way to have an abortion in the States is to just shoot the foetus and claim self-defence.
And to anyone asking "what's next?" then, according to the paperwork and phrasing, it seems same sex relationships & marriage and access to contraception.

Absolutely.
I'm a Christian (a denomination of which I have picked and chosen myself I guess) and I firmly believe in the separation of church and state.
I'm so disappointed with this ruling its time for a new political way i think, a third party that takes the best of the other two and leave the fringes of the otherctwo to fight it out.
what happened to.. hey !it's their country? If they want to go back 200 hundred years then let them.
If the majority won't stand up against the madness then more fool them.
oh hang on ...i forgot loads of you voted for Boris.:hehe:
Just watching news about a nurse in an abortion clinic and a doctor , both who run the risk and reality of threats and violence say how wrong this step was
In arkansas not even rape or incest would be a reason to get a termination
Hoyt Plunkett , an anti abortionist redneck feckwit asshole said outside the clinic they wouldn't stop until abortion was totally outlawed , honestly have a look at him 😀
The state legislator in arkansas, who was straight out of deliverance said how would the doctor know about the problems of birth defects ?
He's a fecking doctor you feckwit
Pro Gun and "Pro life" the irony is lost on them.
A very regrettable decision. States rights v Federal rights is one of the ongoing battlegrounds in US politics throughout history and you feel like half of the debate is about that - the states rights to set their own policy on it, which I assume is what will happen now.
One outcome is probably that the divisions in the US will exacerbate, as this is such an iconic issue that over a few years, people will gravitate to or from states as a result. Demographic change probably plays a part too.
A sad day that will change many lives. I see instantly that some states have banned it - presumably they had that lined up legally if Roe v Wade was ever overtuned?

Banning abortion doesn't stop abortion it just stops SAFE abortion
An appalling decision - and an anti-democratic one as abortion rights are widely supported apart from by a minority of right wing religious nut jobs. I live in a country where abortions are illegal and yet the abortion rate is sky high with lots of related health issues with women dying due to abortion complications.
We all know the Republicans are hypocrites and nuts, however, the actions of the democrats (to allow this to happen) is unforgivable:
Obama promised to embed Roe v Wade into federal law in 2007, but when he became President he de-prioritised it.
Obama then succumbed to the republicans when Justice Antonin Scalia died. He should have ploughed on and picked a new Judge but instead was bullied to putting off the pick so close to an election (a favour that the republicans didn't return.. of course).
Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew she had cancer and yet didn't step down when Obama could have had a Supreme Court Justice pick.
With another Supreme court judge stepping down that gave Trump THREE Supreme court picks!
Then the hearings... the democrats didn't push for a full investigation into Amy Coney Barrett's cult membership which is shrouded in child abuse allegation (the cult leaders she lived with) OR in fact her adoptive children (from Haiti) that she 'trafficked' to adopt. And of course their weak cross examining of Brett Kavanaugh who had been credibly been accused of sexual assault.
All republican supreme court justices picked since 2006 LIED about their intentions of Roe v Wade.
Centralist democrats are weak and useless and when Nancy Pelosi cries on TV saying it's a "travesty" - i feel sick, because we all saw this coming and the democrats have been so weak they did nothing about it.
The supreme court have already said they are going after marriage equality, lgbt rights and birth control next.
The handmaidens tale has arrived.
Brilliant post. Really interesting. Particularly liked 'Centralist Democrats are weak' comment too. Absolutely agree with this. It's what worries me about the UK too.
I'm not sure what your feelings are about the possibility of the USA descending into such a divisive and extreme set of states (politics and religion) that a second civil war could occur. What with the right to bear arms, what could possibly go wrong? We've seen the madness of Capital Hill. It's a scary country looking in from the outside.
And here we have it a Tory Peer agreeing with the decision. “ A great victory for US democracy. “

Don’t for one minute think this couldn’t happen over here.
They sing about the States being the Land of the Free.
Time to change the lyrics I'm afraid.
