Monday’s Supreme Court decision to strike down rules governing Texas abortion clinics on Monday has set Twitter on fire as justices voted 5-3 in favor of clinics.
In a tweet signed, “H,” meaning Hillary Clinton wrote it herself, the presumptive Democratic nominee said, “SCOTUS’s decision is a victory for women in Texas and across America. Safe abortion should be a right — not just on paper, but in reality.”
Clinton then noted that “This fight isn’t over: The next president has to protect women’s health. Women won’t be ‘punished’ for exercising their basic rights.”
The SCOTUSblog tweeted, “Justice Kennedy’s votes to preserve aff action and strike down abortion restrictions, plus major rulings last term, are a marked move left.”
Others had a different take, such as one Twitter user who wrote, “Liberals love murder so they’re celebrating the Supreme Court Decision cuz it allows them to legally sacrifice more babies to Satan in Texas.”

Justice Kennedy once again joins the liberals to side w/ the butchers ag innocent life. But as Pope Francis says "who are we to judge?"

THANK YOU JUSTICE KENNEDY FOR AGREEING THAT WOMEN & TRANS/NB AFAB PEOPLE HAVE DIGNITY AND AUTONOMY

Essentially, SCOTUS ruled that you have a right to overrule health regulations if they make abortion less convenient.

1/ Here's what's so crazy about the Texas abortion case: the entire case is predicated on an OBVIOUS lie, clear to everyone involved.

Republicans will do ANYTHING to prevent abortions, except the few basic things everyone agrees prevent abortion.

SCOTUS basically shreds Texas's argument that abortion law was to "help" women, unusually strong: pic.twitter.com/wxIGGNCdMJ

Fox News spent a grand total of 6 minutes covering the abortion ruling. CNN & MSNBC are still treating it like the breaking news that it is.

We're at the point where the culture thinks it should be more convenient to end a life with abortion than to protect one with a gun.
