The US Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision on Friday has been met with polar opposite reactions from the Democrats and Republicans.
While the Democrats including former president Barck Obama said that ending abortion rights was an “attack on freedoms”, top Republicans lauded the ruling.
Obama said the SC “relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues–attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.”
US House speaker Nancy Pelosi said “American women today have less freedom than their mothers.”
Hailing the decision, former vice president Mike Pence said “life won.”
