"With sorrow - for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection - we dissent." Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan JJ.

Gonna be very weird if Supreme Court ends a constitutional right to obtain an abortion next week, saying it should be left to the States to decide, right after it just imposed a constitutional right to concealed carry of firearms, saying it cannot be left to the States to decide

I have no words. Heartbroken. Now to dig into the opinion and what will surely be some scathing dissenting opinions from Kagan and Sotomayor.

@novahroze Thank you for sharing, Rosie, I'm glad you're resting and prioritizing your own well-being. Sending you so much light and love ❤️

And if anything I've said here resonates, if you are sad or hurting, even just a little bit, ask for help. Don't let it go on for as long as I did, and become as unwell as I am. You are loved, you are worth it. Things will get better. Thanks for reading. 21/end.

🧵TW: mental health, suicide, sexual abuse I'm not writing this for sympathy or attention. I've been off work sick for a while and will likely be for a bit longer. I've thought about it a lot and I'm okay with people having some insight into what has been happening for me. 1/?
