Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : "I want to be crystal clear: abortion remains legal here in California and we are working to ensure that people -- regardless of where they come from -- can access abortion services with as much support and as few barriers as possible," said Jodi Hicks, President and CEO of Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California, in a statement.
48% : "The wealthy and privileged will always be able to access abortion - it is people with low-incomes, Black, Indigenous and other people of color, people in rural areas, and other people who face structural barriers to care who will be disproportionately harmed by today's decision," Elizabeth Taylor, Executive Director at the National Health Law Program, said in a statement.
44% : Planned Parenthood v. Casey was a 1992 landmark decision regarding abortion that upheld the ruling in Roe v. Wade and affirmed the right to a legal abortion.
43% : Human rights and health rights advocates condemned the court's ruling and emphasized that this decision will not eliminate the need for abortion, but will only make access for those in need more difficult and challenging to receive care.
43% : While states like Texas and Oklahoma have already outlawed abortion with bans in place before the court's decision, other states, like California, are working to solidify abortion protections.
42% : "To people across the country living in a state hostile to abortion: California is here for you.
41% : In a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court decision has now left abortion rights up to individual states, with nearly half of states expected to outlaw or seriously restrict abortion following the court's decision.
41% : The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision, including the one on which the defenders of Roe and Casey now chiefly rely -- the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment."
39% : "The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the nation's history and traditions," Justice Alito wrote.
