WATCH LIVE: President Biden delivers remarks on Supreme Court ruling to overturn Roe v. Wade
Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett voted to overturn the landmark Roe v. Wade decision.
"None of this, however, requires that we also take the dramatic step of altogether eliminating the abortion right first recognized in Roe. Mississippi itself previously argued as much to this Court in this litigation," Roberts wrote. In Friday's ruling, Alito wrote that the Constitution"does not confer a right to abortion," stating it is ultimately up to the states to regulate abortion access.
The three justices also pushed back on the majority's reasoning that each state can address abortion access as it pleases.
