100 US Senators: Abortion Ban Opinions

Today, @SCOTUS reversed its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, which I have long-believed was unconstitutional. This is welcome news. It is our moral and ethical duty to protect the dignity of human life, particularly when it comes to the unborn. https://t.co/lTd8uqL2HA

— Sen. Dan Sullivan (@SenDanSullivan) June 24, 2022

The Supreme Court just struck down the right to a legal abortion, denying women the right to make choices about their own bodies.

This is a giant step back for our country and an all hands on deck moment. I will never back down from defending the right to an abortion.

— Captain Mark Kelly (@CaptMarkKelly) June 24, 2022

Roe was a tragic mistake, taking from the American people & their elected representatives a deeply moral question. The Supreme Court has finally corrected this mistake & I highly commend the millions of Americans who toiled for years to achieve this great victory for unborn life.

— Tom Cotton (@SenTomCotton) June 24, 2022

The SCOTUS decision affirming there's no constitutional right to indiscriminately sacrifice the lives of children in their mothers’ wombs is the culmination of decades of work to correct the tragic, deadly lie that unborn babies are expendable and undeserving of protection.

— Senator John Boozman (@JohnBoozman) June 24, 2022

In decision after decision, a radical right-wing majority of Republican-appointed justices is rewriting history and undoing hard won progress.

In doing so, they have provoked a crisis of legitimacy at the Supreme Court.

— Senator Alex Padilla (@SenAlexPadilla) June 24, 2022

Today is a dark day for our country. By overturning Roe v. Wade, the conservative majority on this Supreme Court has declared that women no longer have the right to control their own bodies. pic.twitter.com/dd185uDxAU

— Senator Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) June 24, 2022

Today, a radical majority of the Supreme Court demolished fifty years of legal precedent.

— Michael Bennet (@SenatorBennet) June 24, 2022

In #Dobbs, Justice Thomas makes it clear the rights to contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage are now at risk.

We can't sit back as more and more constitutional protections get wiped away. This is not what Americans want.

— Senator John Hickenlooper (@SenatorHick) June 24, 2022

Let’s be 100% clear. If Republicans win control of the House, Senate and White House two years from now, they will pass a national abortion ban. And no matter where you live, no matter how pro-choice your state is, women and doctors will be locked up for practicing health care.

— Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) June 24, 2022

Every American should have the right to decide whether & when to have children. Politicians do not know better than women what kind of care they need from their physicians.

— Richard Blumenthal (@SenBlumenthal) June 24, 2022

This Supreme Court decision is unconscionably cruel and wrong. It strips away 50 years of constitutional precedent and upends the lives of millions of American women.

It’s a dark day for our country and our Constitution. https://t.co/Vs0dl92L3i

— Senator Tom Carper (@SenatorCarper) June 24, 2022

Today’s decision guts 50 years of established precedent – and takes away a fundamental freedom for women to make their own choices about their body and their future. Every woman in America deserves the right to make her own reproductive health care choices. pic.twitter.com/ANLd3YFJlg

Todays decision means that the laws regarding abortion in your state will now be decided by elected legislators in your state

When Mark Udall of Colorado made reproductive freedom a big issue in his Senate race, republicans called him “Mark Uterus” and the pundit/analyst class thought that was hilarious and clever. Time for a reckoning among people who keep telling everyone to stop freaking out.

Women are going to suffer and die because of this decision.

Republicans are going to have to answer for this in November. #RoeVsWade

Tragically, this morning’s SCOTUS ruling will only worsen our nation’s maternal health crisis. I will keep fighting to ensure a woman’s right to make her own reproductive choices, as well as fighting to reduce racial disparities in maternal and infant health.

— Senator Dick Durbin (@SenatorDurbin) June 24, 2022

After 50 years, the right to life has finally been returned to the people and their elected representatives. I’m excited to see the states take the lead to protect the unborn, and I look forward to crafting solutions that will defend the unborn and save lives.

— Senator Mike Braun (@SenatorBraun) June 24, 2022

Today is a monumental day for the protection of life in America and a defining moment for our nation. Roe v. Wade was wrongly decided, and the Supreme Court has corrected a historic injustice.

— Senator Todd Young (@SenToddYoung) June 24, 2022

For many today’s decision is about far more than correcting Roe it means that the rights of the unborn are no longer in jeopardy This ruling empowers the ppl thru their elected reps to make commonsense policy decisions It takes policymaking out of the hands of unelected judges

— Bill Cassidy, M.D. (@BillCassidy) June 24, 2022

Despite attempts to intimidate the justices, they did their work.

Roe v. Wade has misrepresented the Constitution since the ruling was rendered, and today’s decision to return the issue of abortion to the American people and the states corrects a legal and moral error.

— John Kennedy (@SenJohnKennedy) June 24, 2022

By overturning Roe v.

For this Supreme Court majority and for right-wing Republicans, the Handmaid’s Tale is not just a book or show, it’s a plan. We the People must mobilize because today’s SCOTUS #RoeVWade decision is just step one.

— Senator Chris Van Hollen (@ChrisVanHollen) June 24, 2022

Senate Republicans bear responsibility for confirming justices they knew full-well intended to overturn #RoeVsWade, putting the lives of millions of women and girls in such a place where their own government does not trust them to make decisions about their own body.

— Senator Ben Cardin (@SenatorCardin) June 24, 2022

If this extremist Court will dismantle something as fundamental as the right for an American to make decisions about their own body, then we are on a slippery slope to the undoing of other fundamental rights. But Congress can act. We can expand the Court and protect our rights.

— Ed Markey (@SenMarkey) June 24, 2022

#RoeVWade is dead, and I am furious. With the Supreme Court’s decision today, six extremist justices have overturned nearly fifty years of precedent & revoked the constitutional right to an abortion.

The #Dobbs decision will have immediate & catastrophic consequences for women & families. By overturning #RoevWade, SCOTUS has opened the door for politics to interfere in private health decisions.

It is hard to look past the anger that I and so many women across the country feel right now. From the President to the Congress to our local State Legislatures, elections matter now more than ever.

— Sen. Debbie Stabenow (@SenStabenow) June 24, 2022

The word abortion isn't in the Constitution? Well, neither is the word woman, neither is the word she. They're using this argument to take us back and enough is enough.

#RoeVsWade has been a terrible stain on our nation for too long. I'm grateful to God for His divine guidance in the Supreme Court’s decision on #Dobbs, and I'm so proud that MS has had a leading role in this case.

This is a momentous day for our nation, and Mississippi led the charge. This decision is an answered prayer, marking the beginning of the next chapter in our fight to protect the unborn.

— Senator Roger Wicker (@SenatorWicker) June 24, 2022

For those who wondered why I said, two years ago, I would vote to confirm ONLY Supreme Court Justices who acknowledged Roe was wrong, this is why. Amy Barrett was the first openly pro-life nominee of my lifetime. And she was the deciding vote

— Josh Hawley (@HawleyMO) June 24, 2022

I commend the Supreme Court for its principled and courageous decision today in #Dobbs.

Threats of physical violence and even assassination attempts could not sway the Justices from their commitment to uphold the Constitution.

The highest court in the land failed half of the country today. Like millions of Americans across the country, I am gutted & horrified.

Make no mistake: Overturning Roe jeopardizes women’s lives. It won’t stop abortions from happening – it will just make them dangerous.

SCOTUS just sent our country backwards, where now Americans cannot attain the medical care they were once constitutionally entitled to.

Women just became second class citizens under the eye of the law.

This is a devastating day. More than half of the American population became second-class citizens, stripped of their constitutional right to privacy and bodily autonomy.
