Roe ruling: Michelle Obama, other celebrities react with heartbreak, anger, f-bombs
Politicians, actors, authors and other celebrities expressed their anger, heartbreak and distress over the Supreme Court’s decision Friday to overturn Roe v. Wade, rolling back the rights of American women in half of U.S. states to obtain safe and legal abortions.
In a lengthy statement, former first lady Michelle Obama said she was “heartbroken that we may now be destined to learn the painful lessons of a time before Roe was made the law of the land — a time when women risked losing their lives getting illegal abortions.” “So yes, I am heartbroken — for the teenage girl, full of zest and promise, who won’t be able to finish school or live the life she wants because her state controls her reproductive decisions, for the mother of a nonviable pregnancy who is now forced to bring that pregnancy to term, for the parents watching their child’s future evaporate before their very eyes; for the health care workers who can no longer help them without risking jail time.
