A Suprema Corte dos EUA decidiu, nesta sexta-feira (24), suspender o direito constitucional ao aborto nos Estados Unidos. Famosos, como Taylor Swift, Michelle e Barack Obama, lamentaram a decisão nas redes sociais.
“Hoje, a Suprema Corte não apenas reverteu quase 50 anos de precedente, mas relegou a decisão mais pessoal que alguém pode tomar aos caprichos de políticos e ideólogos – atacar as liberdades essenciais de milhões de americanos”, escreveu Barack Obama em seu Twitter.
A ex-primeira dama Michelle Obama também se pronunciou sobre o caso com uma extensa carta: “Estou com o coração partido em saber que as pessoas deste país perderam seu direito fundamental de tomar decisões conscientes sobre o que fazer com seus próprios corpos”.
Taylor Swift compartilhou a carta de Michelle e ainda disse: “Estou absolutamente aterrorizada que ocupemos este lugar – que depois de tantas décadas de pessoas lutando pelos direitos das mulheres a seus próprios corpos, a decisão de hoje nos tirou isso”.
O escritor Stephan King, Mark Ruffalo, entre outros se juntaram ao movimento e protestaram contra a decisão da Suprema Corte nas redes sociais.
Veja a repercussão:
This nation was founded on the separation between church & state. The Supreme Court has now been made illegitimate by destruction of that separation & turned into a political organ of the religious right. We are going to have to fight for the founding principals of our nation. https://t.co/77FRVp0Ci0

I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are – that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that. https://t.co/mwK561oxxl

Across the country, states have already passed bills restricting choice. If you’re looking for ways to respond, @PPFA, @USOWomen, and many other groups have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years—and will continue to be on the front lines of this fight. pic.twitter.com/PpXBEcbL2S

Today is a very solemn moment for the United States.

The Supreme Court expressly took away a Constitutional right from the American people that it had already recognized. They simply took it away. That’s never been done to a right that is so important to so many Americans.
By a vote of 6-3: The Supreme Court sucks.

Abortion is a fundamental right for all women. It must be protected. I wish to express my solidarity with the women whose liberties are being undermined by the Supreme Court of the United States.

When a 12 yr old girl gets raped by her father who legally has a gun concealed in his pocket, the Supreme Court says the child must give birth to her sister.
