The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion.
Roe since 1973 had permitted abortions during the first two trimesters of pregnancy in the United States.
Almost half the states are expected to outlaw or severely restrict abortion as a result of the Supreme Courts decision on a Mississippi case known as Dobbs v. Jackson Womens Health Organization.
The Mississippi law upheld by today's ruling has no exceptions for rape, incest, or the life of the pregnant woman.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion. The courts other five conservatives, including Chief Justice John Roberts, joined in the judgment, which was opposed by the three liberal justices.

Unless, of course, you're part of the in-crowd - then, it's one orgy after another.

As long as there's a conservative justice who's in an interracial marriage, that one will be off limits. I'd bet money on it.
I'm really afraid for the LGBTQ+ community, though.

(18,674 posts)From the first paragraph:
"The Supreme Court in a 5-4 decision overturned Roe v. Wade..."
From the last paragraph:
"Justice Samuel Alito wrote the majority opinion. The courts other five conservatives, including Chief Justice John Roberts, joined in the judgment, which was opposed by the three liberal justices."
I presume the last paragraph is the correct one, but it's annoying when an article from a major news source contradicts itself.
And yes, I know it doesnt technically matter if the majority was 5 or 6. But the first paragraph made me think for a moment that there was at least one conservative justice who hadn't completely gone over to the dark side. I should have known better, of course!
