Roe has been aborted! Praise God!

After the last few years, people needed a win, and Jesus came through in a big way!

So now it's back in the hands of the states. I hope Indiana moves quickly to make it illegal here.

Yes, keep Catholicism weird! This is a win for humanity, not for republicans or democrats. And yes, the hard work begins now. Today I’m praising God, and I am praying for peace.

While today’s decision does not specifically overturn other related laws, it does open the door to make the same argument in doing so. Also, for those women, like me, who earlier in my life suffered miscarriages requiring surgical intervention, there very likely could be a scarcity of OB-GYNs willing to do a D&C for fear of prosecution. I know of at least one who predicted same.

Nevertheless now is the time to financially support women now forced to go forward, including providing healthcare, day care, housing and educational opportunities so she can raise this child(ren). I’m talking to YOU. Finally, every one of these children has a father. Time to require them stepping up and assuming their parental responsibilities.

There are real women behind your rejoicing.

Wasn’t it a 5-4 decision?

If Justice Thomas' concurring opinion is being accurately portrayed, the claim that this decision will not affect other issues (e.g., contraception, so-call gay marriage) seems perhaps incorrect.

"Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote a concurring opinion in Friday's ruling overturning Roe v. Wade, arguing the court should "correct the error" of rulings that protect same-sex marriage and contraception access."

It was a 5-4 decision to overturn, not 6-3. It was 6-3 to uphold the Mississippi law. EDIT: Actually, it was more of a 5-1-3 decision.

You don't have to be a Catholic to oppose abortion.. After all ,murdering a human being is a crime. I have known Catholics with 16 years of Catholic schooling who are pro choice and see nothing

wrong with killing babies. They are teachers and democrats so they have to be pro choice. I found it impossible to penetrate their thinking on this. All I can do is pray for their souls as they have died.

Abortion is the preeminent moral issue of our time and this is just the beginning.

No mention in the Vatican's statement on Dobbs that abortion is the taking of innocent life, an intrinsic evil, and a grave sin against God.

The vote was 5-4 not 6-3.

Whatever else people say about Trump, this was possible because the Lord used him to appoint good judges
