The Supreme Court voted Monday to strike down Texas’s abortion regulations, and women in Hollywood are ecstatic.
As TheWrap previously reported, the justices voted 5-3 to repeal restrictions that governed how abortion clinics operated.
Female stars including Lena Dunham, Mindy Kaling, Olivia Wilde and Elizabeth Banks took to Twitter and Instagram to share their excitement for another step of progress for women’s rights in America.

Supreme Court just threw out Texas’ right wing abortion law w/ a 5-3 vote. Blocking Obama’s replacement for Scalia is sure working out well!
