The reaction was swift when news spread about the Supreme Court's decision to drop a landmark case that had abolished the constitutional right to abortion.
In response to Friday's announcement that Rowe v. Wade, after the 1973 Supreme Court ruling giving women the right to abortion in every state, was overturned by the US Supreme Court, public figures shared their reactions.
The 6-to-3 ruling knocks nearly 50 years of legal precedent. It will completely change the landscape of women's reproductive rights, giving individual countries the power to decide whether to agree to the process. It is evaluated that nearly half of the country will implement a near-total ban in the coming months.
After the news broke on Friday morning, many started using their platform to share their thoughts. For example, Hailey Bieber posted a message from Complex on Instagram with the caption, "Wow, I'm speechless. What an incredible loss and disappointment. This is terrifying."
Writer Glenn Doyle shared his concerns on Twitter: "Convenience to anyone who is terrified at this time," wrote author Untamed. "I'm scared too. It's good to feel scared and tender now. Soon the anger will return, and we will fight it out. First the pain, then mother, dammit, intensifies."
Tracy Ellis Ross republished the author's tweet and several other posts in response to the decision. Jonathan Van Ness transferred a series of tweets ending with a statement calling the decision "heartbreaking."
"This is Trump and the Republican Party. Increasing people's pregnancies," the Queer Eye star wrote.
