On Friday, the US Supreme Court overrode the historical Roe Vs Wade judgment of 1973 which had granted women the constitutional right to abortion.
The court stated, “The Constitution does not confer a right to abortion; Roe and Casey are overruled; and the authority to regulate abortion is returned to the people and their elected representatives.”
It is being projected that at least half of the 50 American states would severely restrict or even criminalize abortions. As per CNBC, 14 American states have either immediately banned or restricted abortions or will do so in the near future.
The list includes – Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, South Dakota, Utah, Alabama, Idaho, Tennesee, Texas, Mississippi, Wyoming and North Dakota.
The verdict drew widespread criticism from US President Joe Biden and several top world leaders including Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and French President Emmanuel Macron, all of whom took to Twitter to express their displeasure:
In contrast, the Vatican leadership and US bishops who have always been ardent critics of the practice of abortion, supported the verdict.
Praising the verdict, The Pontifical Academy for Life (The Vatican’s Academy for Life) issued this statement:
Echoing the sentiment, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) also issued a statement.
These religious bodies have no inputs or recommendations on what needs to be done when pregnancies occur due to horrific crimes like rape or sexual assault.
With widespread racism, teenagers murdering dozens of people with guns on the streets, the worst Wuhan Virus response in the world and now women being deprived the right over their own bodies by the country’s top court, the United States of America should stop moral counseling and preaching other nations on their internal matters and focus on the sorry state of affairs back home. The world should also take notice and stand up to this hypocrisy.
