#humanrights #womensrights
Lady Hillary Clinton has this to say! “Most Americans believe the decision to have a child is one of the most sacred decisions there is, and that such decisions should remain between patients and their doctors.
Today’s Supreme Court opinion will live in infamy as a step backward for women's rights and human rights.”
The POTUS said “This is NOT OVER!”
Dissenting Opinion: Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan
“Today, the proclivities of individuals rule. The Court departs from its obligation to faithfully and impartially apply the law. We dissent.”
“​​For in this Nation, we do not believe that a government controlling all private choices is compatible with a free people.”
Dissenting Opinion: Justices Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan
“Today’s decision strips women of agency over what even the majority agrees is a contested and contestable moral issue. It forces her to carry out the State’s will, whatever the circumstances and whatever the harm it will wreak on her and her family. In the Fourteenth Amendment’s terms, it takes away her liberty.”
President Obama also shared this graphic and suggested a few ways we can get involved. Stay tuned.
