Billy Eichner, Patricia Arquette, More Stars Condemn Supreme Court's Decision to Overturn Roe v. Wade

Television actors are speaking out on social media after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday morning. The ruling marks an end to the federal protection of abortion rights, and many U.S. states are expected criminalize abortion as a result.

In the wake of the decision, stars including Seth MacFarlane, Busy Philipps, Patricia Arquette, and more are making their opinions known. Arquette wrote on Twitter, "This Supreme Court is an absolute disaster. From giving people the right to carry guns to taking away Womens rights of autonomy over their own bodies. We weren't being reactive we saw it coming."

I hope the 53% of white women who just couldn’t stomach voting for @HillaryClinton are happy that they’ve just ensured that their daughters grow up in #Gilead.

A woman’s right to choose is a HEALTH decision.

A PERSONAL health decision.

I’m a Christian and know that.

Not too long ago, this would have been dystopian sci-fi. But the legacy of the 2016 election and the indelible mark of the GOP is printed here in black and white. How much farther this will go once again depends on American voters. Blame extremism or apathy, but this is America: pic.twitter.com/WefAworLlW

It doesn’t end here. Fuck this sham. Fuck these people. If you’re a single issue voter and your issue is your taxes, fuck you too. This Supreme Court is on you.
