The Supreme Court has 'burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had' with their ruling last week overturning Roe v. Wade, says Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
June 26, 2022, 9:50 AMSen. Elizabeth Warren addresses the public during a rally to protest the US Supreme Courts overturning of Roe Vs. Wade at the Massachusetts State House in Boston, June 24, 2022.The Supreme Court has "burned whatever legitimacy they may still have had" with their ruling last week"They just took the last of it and set a torch to it," Warren, a Democrat, told ABC “This Week” co-anchor Martha Raddatz in an interview.
In a Friday decision, the high court overturned the landmark holding in Roe, instead ruling that there was no constitutional guarantee to abortion access. Justices voted five to four to reject Roe and six to three in favor of Mississippi’s ban on abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy, in the underlying case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization.
In the days since the decision, at least eight states have outlawed abortion and in the coming weeks a total of 26 states are expected to ban or severely restrict it, according to the Guttmacher Institute.
