Abortion in US: Politico Post Causes Earthquake – Development Shocks Washington

An earthquake-causing revelation was made yesterday by the news website Politico. As stated by the Supreme Court of USA prepares to annul the historic 1973 decision recognizing the right to abortionwith the website citing the leaked draft opinion, an unprecedented event.

The development came as a shock to Washington, as the political landscape may change dramatically in the run-up to the November midterm elections.

The following are the main reactions so far, as broadcast by international agencies and the Athenian News Agency.

Bernie Saunders, independent Democrat-affiliated senator: “Congress must pass a law that will incorporate the Rowe vs. Wade decision into the law of this country now. “And if there are no 60 votes in the Senate to be approved, we must end the practice of the enhanced majority and pass it with 50 votes.”

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton: “This decision is a direct attack on the dignity, rights and lives of women, without taking into account the legislation of decades. It will kill and enslave women even though the vast majority of Americans believe abortion should be legal. What a shame”.

Democrat Sen. Elizabeth Warren: “The Supreme Court, seized by extremists, is preparing to overturn the Rowe v. Wade case and impose its far-right, unpopular views across the country. It is time for the millions who support the Constitution and the right to abortion to stand up and raise their voices to be heard. We will not go back – never “.

Democrat Sen. Amy Klobuchar: “If nothing can be done in Washington because of the Republican policy of obstruction, then the American people and women must vote and the people who believe in freedom of choice must vote like never before, because he is the only one. a way to change that. “

Kathy Hawkle, Governor of New York: “This is a very shameful attack on our fundamental right to choose, and we will fight it with all our might. I will say it loud and clear: New York will always guarantee your right to an abortion. You have our word “.

Republican Sen. Tom Cotton: “The Supreme Court and the Ministry of Justice must conduct a thorough investigation into this leak with all the tools needed. In the meantime, the decision (of 1973) was blatantly wrong from the beginning and I pray that the Court will abide by the Constitution and allow the states to once again protect the lives of unborn children. “

Republican Sen. Rick Scott: “The confidentiality of the proceedings in the Supreme Court is sacred and protects it from political interference. This breach shows that radical Democrats are working harder and harder to intimidate and undermine the Court. That was always their plan. “Judges can not and must not bow to this attack.”

Republican Sen. Josh Holly: “The left continues its attack on the Supreme Court with this unprecedented breach of confidentiality, which is clearly intended to intimidate. Judges must not back down in the face of this attempt to corrupt the process. You look strong. I will say that if this is the position of the Court, it is terrible. Very well researched, perfectly worded, morally strong “.

Alexandria Okasio-Cortez, Democrat MP: “As we have warned, the Supreme Court is not just about abortion, it is about the right to privacy, on which the 1973 decision was based, and it also includes same-sex marriage and civil rights.”

National Women’s Law Center: “The language used in the draft is outrageous, irresponsible and shocking. “Every judge who endorses this opinion will fuel the evil and violence that every woman who becomes pregnant in this country suffers.”
