The Supreme Court struck down its landmark Roe v. Wade decision on Friday when it issued its long-awaited ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a case concerning a Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks. Members of Congress were quick to draw battle lines over the ruling, with some praising the ruling and others vowing a legislative response.In its suit, Mississippi directly asked the high court to reconsider its landmark rulings in both Roe and Planned Parenthood v.
Today's appalling decision to strike down #RoeVWade means women in America will have fewer rights than their mothers had. Republicans & their activist judges want to take our nation backwards and rip away reproductive freedoms. @HouseDemocrats will keep fighting to protect them.“Republicans & their activist judges want to take our nation backwards and rip away reproductive freedoms. [House Democrats] will keep fighting to protect them,” he wrote.
Sasse argued that on a separate note it is cause for celebration “that our institutions held,” a reference to a leak of a draft decision in the case that sparked protests at justices’ homes and the arrest of a man who told law enforcement he planned to assassinate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Pelosi said congressional Republicans “are plotting a nationwide abortion ban” she argued could give way to arresting “doctors for offering reproductive care and women for terminating a pregnancy.”
Rep. Ritchie Torres wrote on Twitter, “The Supreme Court has held that women in 2022 should have less liberty and privacy and equality — less control over their own bodies — than they did in 2021. A dangerous and disgraceful decision that will turn back the clock a half a century.”
