"With sorrow - for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection - we dissent." Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan JJ.

[Neal Katyal @neal_katyal]

Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide

[Maria Orchard @MariaOrchard]

I have no words. Heartbroken. Now to dig into the opinion and what will surely be some scathing dissenting opinions from Kagan and Sotomayor.

[SCOTUSblog @SCOTUSblog]

THE SUPREME COURT HAS OVERTURNED ROE V. WADE, ELIMINATING THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT TO ABORTION.
