Patricia Arquette, Barack Obama, Samantha Bee and more are condemning the Supreme Court on social media after it overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending federal protections of abortion rights. The decision effectively leaves the question of abortion rights to the states, several of which are expected to ban abortions. Roe v. Wade guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights starting in 1973.

“Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans,” Barack Obama posted on Twitter.

“Across the country, states have already passed bills restricting choice. If you’re looking for ways to respond, Planned Parenhoot, United States of Women and many other groups have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years—and will continue to be on the front lines of this fight,” he added.

On the eve of the Supreme Court’s announcement, Samantha Bee called a decision to overturn Roe v. Wade “devastating,” adding, “Twenty-six states will likely move to ban abortion immediately, which is a shame. Because the only interesting thing to do in North Dakota is get an abortion. A right to choose whether or not to have a baby is being dismantled by a party that really fucking wants that baby to die as soon as possible after it’s born.”

Elizabeth Banks summarized the decision by writing, “Everybody gets a gun but nobody gets bodily autonomy. America,” while music duo Aly & Aj similarly reacted. “Sad day to be an American between Roe vs. Wade & NYC gun laws being struck down.”

Everybody gets a gun but nobody gets bodily autonomy. America.

“This Supreme Court is an absolute disaster,” Oscar winner Patricia Arquette wrote. “From giving people the right to carry guns to taking away womens’ rights of autonomy over their own bodies. We weren’t being reactive we saw it coming.”

“This is a dark day in American history,” added Aisha Tyler. “The Supreme Court destroyed womens’ right to choose. The result will shatter women’s lives, make children & families poorer, increase the financial burden on men & erode the American economy. This is a terrible tragedy for all of us.”

People will still get abortions.

These procedures won’t stop just because Roe v. Wade is overturned.

This will only prevent safe, legal abortions from taking place.

Today’s Supreme Court ruling overturning #RoeVsWade will have deadly consequences, with the harm falling hardest on people of color who already face disproportionate discrimination in our country and grapple with a severe maternal mortality crisis.

— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa_Milano) June 24, 2022

Roe V Wade being overturned by the Supreme Court is so disgusting. I am so ashamed of the direction that this country is going. This blatant hate for women’s rights is so unbelievably concerning and heartbreaking.

— Shea Couleé (@SheaCoulee) June 24, 2022

I suggest you focus right now @AbortionFront is one of the most important resources for women across the country we must galvanize and take on the challenges of our times as women have done for centuries they will bend us but we will not break #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

It’s been the plan ALL A LONG. The ONLY thing standing in the way of the complete dissolution of the UNITED states into 2 countries where women have control over their own bodies & same sex marriages are recognized or not is our willingness to SHOW UP in these midterms and #VOTE https://t.co/jdVFmikmO3
