The Supreme Court of the United States voted to overturn Roe v. Wade on Friday.
Celebrities reacted to the decision via social media with Alyssa Milano saying it will have “deadly consequences” and Elizabeth Banks calling it “devastating news.”
“Today’s Supreme Court ruling overturning #RoeVsWade will have deadly consequences, with the harm falling hardest on people of color who already face disproportionate discrimination in our country and grapple with a severe maternal mortality crisis,” Milano wrote
She added: “Banning abortion will disproportionately impact people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, people struggling to make ends meet, young people, and those living in rural areas.”
Banks wrote, “This is devastating news for families – Men and women – who believe the government should not decide when and with whom they become parents. This is not the end of this fight for human rights.”
She added, “Everybody gets a gun but nobody gets bodily autonomy. America.”
