Supreme Court overturns federal abortion rights

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

64% :"Even if the practice of abortion ended, given the availability of the pill, I think they'll say OK, good, mission accomplished.
52% :Schacter added that the same constitutional doctrine, the 14th Amendment, which supported the Roe and Casey decisions cited in the justices' opinion also supports other important rights, including access to birth control, a right to be intimate with the partner of your choice and marriage equality.
47% : The 6-3 decision sends authority to regulate abortion back to the states.
47% : The final opinion, which upheld a Mississippi law banning abortion after 15 weeks, was an expected but nonetheless stunning end to 50 years of federal abortion rights for women throughout the country.
45% : The decision doesn't end rights granted in individual states, and abortion is still legal in California.
44% : The right to abortion does not fall within this category."
44% : "The permissibility of abortion, and the limitations, upon it, are to be resolved like most important questions in our democracy: by citizens trying to persuade one another and then voting."
42% : "The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, and Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 are overruled; the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives," the court wrote.
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% : "It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives," the decision continued.
