  1. Absolutely fantastic news

  2. Kevin Samuels told You All Marriage before The Carriage!!!!!

  3. You men better get your child support ready.

  4. Such impartial news casting. LOL

  5. Praise the Lord praise the Lord faith in his angry all the media is angry but God is going to win God is going to win screw you screw you screw you you can't sacrifice anymore to your devil Baal

  6. Even before Roe was overturned, States had the power to regulate and restrict the decision to have an abortion. This decision applies narrowly to abortion only, but it also broadly rejects judicial legislation and reaffirms in resounding terms the principle of Federalism and States' rights. That broader reading is being largely ignored, but it is far more important than abortion rights.

    What the SCOTUS decision has done is return the issue of abortion itself to the State legislatures, raising the possibility of States banning abortion entirely (as Texas plans to do). Gov. Youngkin's proposal to limit the exercise of the right to have an abortion to 15-weeks seems entirely sound, legally, but the Texas proposal to ban abortion entirely will almost certainly face legal challenge, since it would appear to infringe on the rights reserved to the people under the Ninth Amendment — an issue the Court side-stepped. The Founding Fathers intended the Ninth Amendment to embrace an entire universe of unenumerated rights, including the right to privacy. To ban abortion entirely would reduce the Ninth Amendment to a nullity — a result clearly contrary to the Founders' intent.

    This decision is likely to foster a flurry of cases exploring the protections afforded by the Ninth Amendment, an issue SCOTUS has managed to avoid for decades. In my view, the right to seek an abortion is inherent in the Ninth Amendment; otherwise, we are faced with embracing the legal proposition that life and legal rights begin with conception, which the mother cannot infringe by seeking an abortion. I don't think logic or the public will support such an extreme interpretation.

  7. Good call Justices, its a local issue.

  8. Praise the LORD!!!!!!! Thank you LORD JESUS!!!! Hallelujah to GOD!

  9. Lock and load
    Ready to abort protesters/ rioters

  10. Here we go,.. the WOKE crazies will burn America with impunity.

  11. 🤔Here comes the baby boom.
    many pregnant women will now seek very unhealthy, dangerous methods. Then possibly two lives are lost.

  12. Psalm 139:14 I praise you because in an awe-inspiring way I am wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know this very well. 15 My bones were not hidden from you When I was made in secret, When I was woven in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes even saw me as an embryo; All its parts were written in your book Regarding the days when they were formed, Before any of them existed.

  13. Good! God is really looking at our country more than ever. Thank you lord. United States of America has been gods country and always will

  14. I am so happy …this is the best news ever.

  15. Thank You President Trump

  16. Yes finally baby murder is not federally mandated a fine start.

  17. I keep blaming the Republicans it's not the Republicans it's the women who murder their own children and think it's okay when you have five or six abortions in one year that is not okay these women need to take control over their bodies either get a hysterectomy or tubes tied or whatever birth control what a bunch of hypocrites

  18. History going on right in front of me and my unborn baby. Insane.

  19. ❤ A great day for babies who now get a chance to live. It’s about time.

  20. Praise the Lord long live the babies no more murdering

  21. thank you Jesus. every child is a blessing god won today.

  22. Leftist news outlets going to be crying like the leftists.
    The biggest celebration on honest decisions is going to happen. Thank god it was overturned. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

  23. Respectfully Samuel Alito, how is basic human rights bound by state borders. Are these the values America stands for? I don't believe so.

  24. Praise the Lord 🙏 long live the babies

  25. Abortion never was a constitutional right. It maybe your body but not your right to take another's life.

  26. Technology, Science, young people and Trending population,will put the Republican party out of business for good!

  27. Does anyone know how large the bounties are on the 6 are now?

  28. I'm happy with our Supreme Court decision. It's about time this should have been done thirty years ago. This is a bad day for the baby killers who should be in prison. Expect to hear about bombings and attacks at abortion clinics in liberal states they are coming. If I was a doctor who did abortions I would be very scared for my life.

  29. Far right republicans are dividing this country with backwards rhetoric. We are living in stressful times.

  30. There are actually a lot of congenital diseases which can only be diagnosed in the 20-24 weeks , especially many heart diseases in neonates(some of the diseases are very much untreatable and the mother has to see her poor baby die after few days or watch him suffer through the short life span he/she lives).
    In my country, abortion was legal upto 20 weeks , and recently it's been legal upto 24 weeks because of this reason only

  31. Yes Thank you God…NO MORE ABORTION!!!!
    THANK YOU GOD
    THANK YOU GOD
    THANK YOU GOD…NO MORE ABORTION!!!

  32. I guess u guys aren't ready for that one yet,but your kids are gonna love it

  33. Infested with religionists, misogynists, sexual predators, liars and perverts: the corrupt degenerate carcass of what used to be a respected institution. Congratulations to these Supreme Courtesans who have crosstituted themselves into such a diseased state.

  34. I'm more worried about inflation. More people will be affected by inflation than abortion.

  35. It's the north and south again

  36. Please lower the American flag today!! This is a tragedy in America!! Do not fly that flag today! America is moving toward dictatorship

  37. It's a victory for the storage of Baby Formula.

  38. Big Win For Babies, YES!! 😁😀

  39. Half of those aborted are developing women. Shouldn’t they have a choice too?
