It didn't take long for the crowds to mass and the passions to surge. Within hours of a leaked report that the Supreme Court has decided to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, throngs began to congregate in front of the high court to celebrate and condemn what would be a politically seismic ruling.

The leak involves a draft Supreme Court opinion – not an official ruling – published by Politico that suggests the court is considering a decision to overturn the constitutional right to abortion.

  1. I stand with Planned Parenthood. Keep abortion available, safe and legal for females of all ages. Leave Roe vs Wade alone. Doctor–patient confidentiality laws apply to all genders.

    1. @Eugene Hicks two thousand years ago; what laws, rules, and regulations the government couldn’t impose or demand. Is one of the main reasons men invented religion. By inventing religion, men were allowed to oppress and control not only women; they were allowed to indoctrinate children with religion. Even when the children weren’t theirs.
      Neither children or adults were allowed to question why an adult/parent was allowed to use, abuse and manipulate others: emotionally, mentally, physically, verbally and financially with religion.
      Parents/adults didn’t allow children to oppose, object or opt of: obeying, enrolling, teaching, learning, promoting, supporting, participating or funding religion. They would have probably killed any person, regardless of their age or gender; for declaring religion fiction.
      Thus, religion is manmade. A means and ways of brainwashing societies and cultures with fiction.

    2. @ARIS there is also vasectomies and birth control and the morning after pill.
      Abortion and women’s rights is not about politics. It’s about equality. Allowing women/females to own their bodies.

    1. Exactly! Protest high taxes, inflation, poor education, welfare, open borders, etc., but life? How about if these people were aborted? Maybe we would be better off. Ridiculous non issue. Value life and each other for heaven’s sake!

    1. Trust me, they are a loud and aggressive group…but are just a small part of a very small faction of society. But the media will continue to carry their water.

  2. Any person who has not been aborted does not have the right to protest for abortion rights.

    1. @PAPA BZZT yes they do. If you don’t want one don’t have one. Stay out of other people’s personal
      Life. Your time would be better spent going after the child molesters in the churches.

    2. “I’ve noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born.”

      ― Ronald Reagan

    3. I think they should try it themselves just once. Retro abortion needs to become a fad.

    4. Now use that argument in all aspect…any person who have not been an immigrant should not weigh in on immigration, any person who is not black should not weigh in on black issues, and any person who is not a woman should not decide what a woman should and should not do.

  3. This is silly! You do have a choice: sex or no sex. Abortion is a detriment to society. Yes, in cases of rape, the mother’s life, etc., okay. But discarding human at will? These people protesting were once fetuses! Give the same opportunities your mothers gave you! This is a non issue!

    1. A lot of women who have abortions are married or in a long term relationship, who either can’t afford more children, or used birth control but it didn’t work. What about them? Should they stop having sex too?? Expand your point of view.

    2. These foolish minions will trash an entire civilization over dismembering babies. Dear God.

    3. @SuperDad1266 well why don’t these people go on craigslist and find a loving family for that child abortion just seems like a easy way out !¡!!!!!

  4. These are the same people who are against the death penalty. Even if they don’t realize it, they care more about criminals than the victims or the innocent who can’t protect themselves.

    1. @TheCelticsAREboss being honest, I haven’t been religious in decades. Not that it’s pertinent to the conversation. Seems like you are grasping.

    2. @TheCelticsAREboss And how did we get to consciousness? You conflated protecting those who can’t protect themselves to that? Good luck, your going to need it.

    3. @Ken Jakubczak It actually is. Many, if not most, anti-abortion believes are derived from religious beliefs. I am really concerned as to how that went over your head.

    4. @Ken Jakubczak Consciousness actually matters. If fetuses are not conscious, then they are not feeling any pain or injustice and can be aborted without even knowing they existed or got aborted.

      Also, to use your argument against you, why do you pretend to care about unconscious fetuses but not the woman who has to carry it?

    5. @TheCelticsAREboss Having a position isn’t an argument. Who said I didn’t care about the woman?

    1. Wish someone would ask them how many siblings they have? Which ones would you put a hit on? How many were murdered that you never met? And, we will know how they got this messed up.

    2. @Tim Johnson talking our body our choice these are the same people who wants you to wear a mask!!!!

  5. The funny thing is that most of the women they showed protesting never have to worry about getting pregnant. They couldn’t get lucky in a men’s prison.

  6. These the same people who tell you that you have to get a vaccine and booster shot😂 they won’t worried about no “my body, my choice” then.

  7. 0:07 Abortion isn’t healthcare or lifesaving unless you’re talking about the 1% of incidents that happen when the baby must be aborted to save the mother. Abortion is murda. 0:11 then don’t put yourself in a position to get pregnant then, tf? Like there isn’t so many multiple ways to avoid pregnancy. 0:29 lol no, you wanna know what’s frustrating? You all supporting the next supreme court justice when she can’t even define a woman. 0:53 It depends on which state you live in, is she slow? These people have no brain ong…

  8. Why don’t they just tie the tubes if they don’t want children?
    That’s a much better solution.
