UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya cannot wrap his head around the hearing against abortion passed by US Supeme Court
The Supreme Court of the United States of America passed the most stringent anti-abortion law in their history earlier today. The court ended the right to abortion in a tremorous ruling that pulverizes half a century of constitutional protections on one of the most divisive and bitterly fought issues in American political life.
The court dominated by conservative mindset, overturned the landmark 1973 “Roe v Wade” decision that empowered a woman’s right to an abortion, saying that individual states can now permit or restrict the procedure themselves.
“The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives,” the court said.
“The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion,” he said.
This preposterous ruling will lead to a series of stringent new laws being drafted in roughly half of the 50 US states that will severely restrict or outright ban and criminalize abortions, forcing women to travel long distances to states that still permit the procedure.
The opinion shredded the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling by the nation’s highest court that said women had the right to abortion based on the constitutional right to privacy over their own bodies.
This victory for the religious right was met with some serious resistance, as people poured onto the streets in numbers to protest. Many have viewed this ruling as turning back the clock to 50 pus years and inhuman.
