Liberal Justices Deliver Blistering Dissent on Roe: Supreme Court Says ‘a Woman Has No Rights to Speak Of’
The state will now "be able to impose its moral choice on a woman and coerce her to give birth," the three wrote.

The court’s three remaining liberal justices—Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan—delivered a solemn yet blistering dissent in response to their colleagues’ decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and the constitutional protection for abortion care. “Across a vast array of circumstances, a State will be able to impose its moral choice on a woman and coerce her to give birth to a child,” the trio wrote in a triple-bylined dissent on Friday morning.
The case stems from a 15-week abortion ban out of Mississippi, but because of the idiosyncratic nature of the Supreme Court, the question at hand became: Was Roe decided correctly? The court’s conservative ghouls masquerading as our nation’s top legal minds said no, it wasn’t, and “that from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of,” according to the dissenting opinion.
The liberals are clear eyed about what is to come: “The Mississippi law at issue here bars abortions after the 15th week of pregnancy. Under the majority’s ruling, though, another State’s law could do so after ten weeks, or five or three or one—or, again, from the moment of fertilization. States have already passed such laws, in anticipation of today’s ruling. More will follow.”
