After talking about the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade on Monday, the 'View' panelists discussed what might be next, including other rights guaranteed by cases Thomas suggested revisiting.Whoopi Goldberg is among those calling out Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for saying the court “should reconsider” past rulings that secured access to contraceptives and marriage equality. In his concurring opinion in the court’s Friday ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which overturned Roe v. Wade, Thomas said the court “should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell,” cases that made...

For the liberal media elite, carrying a weapon is reserved for important reasons. You know: like for protecting politicians. It's not for ordinary folks wanting to be able to defend themselves. That was the clueless and condescending opinion expressed by Jonathan Capehart on his MSNBC show Sunday. Capehart was commenting on the Supreme Court's recent decision in the Bruen case, in which the Court found that the State of New York's requirements for obtaining a concealed carry permit were unconstitutionally restrictive. Under New York's regulations, applicants had to demonstrate "proper cause"—and wishing to protect themselves or their property was deemed...

he Supreme Court ruled on Monday that a Washington school district violated the First Amendment rights of a high school football coach when he lost his job for praying on the field after games.

In a June 25 tweet, Canadian pollster John Corbett wrote, "Clarence Thomas: Just another dumb field n*gger" from an account that was almost immediately suspended. Advertisement Adam B. Coleman, author and The Post Millennial contributor, posted a screenshot of the hateful and racist remark on Twitter and wrote, "He says n*gger with such ease. These are the self righteous people who see black people as either an acceptable n*gger or a "field n*gger"... Either way, we'll always be n*ggers to @johnVcorbett because our purpose is to serve a master."

Former U.S. Senator Al Franken took to Twitter to criticize conservative justices on the U.S. Supreme Court following a majority decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. In a series of tweets, the embattled former Senator-turned-podcast host included a specific criticism of Justice Clarence Thomas, who opined the overturning of the abortion precedent should push his court to review other major cases as well. "After overturning Roe, Thomas wants to revisit Griswold, Lawrence, & Obergefell. How about revisiting Thomas’ conflicts of interest instead of our rights?" Franken said in a tweet on Saturday. The tweet was in reference to Thomas saying...

Look how much hatred your favorite celebrities and companies harbor for you in the wake of Dobbs v. Jackson. In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade and Casey v. Planned Parenthood, the corporate and entertainment world have joined the pro-abortion chorus in denouncing the decision, the Court, and the pro-life movement. Their reaction has been swift and predictable. The Hollywood crowd wasted no time screeching on social media, according to Newsweek. Bette Midler wrote about the Court: "They did it. THEY DID IT TO US. ... How dare they?" She called a woman who suggested...

On one side is the gnashing of teeth, the uninhibited profanity, the shrieking, the obscene gestures, the stripping off of clothing in public, the threat of violence... If ever an action did not have an equal and opposite reaction, this Roe decision from the Supreme Court is it. The Left's reaction to the decision is monumentally top-heavy compared to the action taken by SCOTUS. SNIP The “good” here is the general public attitude on the Right toward bearing children. It is positive. It is geared to promoting childbirth whenever possible. Children are blessings. On one side is the gnashing of...

If ever an action did not have an equal and opposite reaction, this Roe decision from the Supreme Court is it. ... On one side is the gnashing of teeth, the uninhibited profanity, the shrieking, the obscene gestures and the stripping off of clothing in public (what that has to do with the abortion issue is beyond me). There is the threat of violence, the post-Dobbs retributive intention of expanding abortion to include infanticide (it’s coming), and the seditious threats of elected officials to incite violence and civil disobedience. All of that is evil, almost demonic in its intensity. On...

Why are Democrats so violent when something doesn't go their way? The recent ruling from the Supreme Court that overturned Roe v. Wade launched a thousand protests, which the Democrats called "The Night of Rage." In Washington D.C., hundreds of pro-abortion ‘activists’ marched, shouted slogans, and held signs outside the Supreme Court building and beyond. Crowds ‘demonstrated’ before the federal building in downtown Chicago. The cacophony of ‘protests’ was also witnessed at the Georgia Capitol in Atlanta, the Wisconsin Capitol in Madison, and in Flint, Michigan. There were ‘marches’ in downtown Seattle, Philadelphia, Boston, and Los Angeles. There were ‘demonstrations’...

Imagine being the manager of a Planned Parenthood clinic in a red state with an abortion trigger law this morning. In one fail swoop, the Supreme Court Dobbs decision not only stripped women of the fundamental right to reproductive freedom you have spent a lifetime championing, but it literally put you out of business. It must be so depressing, but you can still hold your head high, knowing that no matter how bad the past 24 hours have been for you, it’s nothing compared to sense of humiliating defeat Dobbs has visited upon ‘True Conservative’ Nevertrumpers. For the Nevertrumper, there’s...

The Supreme Court’s decision in the Dobbs case is both smaller and larger than it might first appear. Smaller Than It Seems It’s smaller in the sense that in and of itself the decision bans precisely zero abortions. To be sure, you might not know that to hear President Biden, who said on June 24: Today, the Supreme Court of the United States expressly took away a constitutional right from the American people that it already recognized. They didn’t limit it. They simply took it away. That’s never been done . . . but they did it. Yet despite all...

Bachelorette star Brooke Blurton has put her feud with Abbie Chatfield to rest in an Instagram post on Sunday. Brooke, 27, praised Abbie, also 27, for being 'honest and vulnerable' by sharing her own experiences with abortion amid the U.S. Supreme Court's anti-abortion ruling. In her candid Instagram post, Brooke revealed that she had an abortion a 'very little time ago' and called on women to 'come together'. Abbie shared with her fans a photo of herself at six weeks pregnant the day before she had an abortion at age 23, and said there are 'no guarantees the right to...

@PeterSchiff #Democrats accusing the #SupremeCourt of taking away rights by overturning #Roe are hypocrites. Through their laws and regulations they have already destroyed the right to privacy, as well as many other rights secured by the Constitution, including the right to make many choices. @goldseek Replying to @PeterSchiff If you survive a pro choicer, odds are high that you are most likely going to find they want to steal away many of your rights the second you start breathing. @PeterSchiff Replying to @goldseek Correct, the only right they seem to care about is the right to an abortion. When it...

Roe v. Wade protesters in South Carolina clashed with police on Saturday as thousands continued their outrage against the Supreme Court's decision to end the landmark abortion ruling by holding demonstrations in Washington, D.C., New York City, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and all across the country. Protests erupted on Friday following the court's ruling to overtun women's federal right to abortions, with 26 states expected to futher restirct or outight ban abortions. Outrage over the decision is expected to carry on over the weekend through the chaotic protests, as Capitol Police said two people were arrested on Saturday for throwing paint...

Former Miss Universe Australia Maria Thattil has shared that she had an abortion in 2015. Maria, 29, shared a photo of herself just days after she had an abortion at 21 and said she cannot imagine how her life would've turned out if she had been forced to carry that pregnancy to term. The U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v Wade, ending the constitutional right to abortion in the U.S., means individual states can decide whether abortion can be made illegal. Posting to social media, Maria wrote: 'I was 21 when I had my #abortion and there isn't...

Maria Teresa Kumar is a self-proclaimed Catholic and former member of the board of Planned Parenthood. She was also the Saturday guest host of MSNBC’s Velshi where she accused the Supreme Court of implementing Catholicism across the country after it struck down Roe v. Wade. During a discussion with Slate editor, podcaster, and NBC law and politics analyst Dahlia Lithwick, Kumar declared the U.S. is now going against global trends, “just last year we saw South American countries, heavily Catholic countries like Colombia, like Mexico, saying that abortion was the law of the land. We have a Supreme Court justice...

You only have to watch Joe Biden's "bizarre ranting unhinged performance" speaking to union members recently to understand why Democrats are worried, says Sky News host James Morrow. In a recent address, a fiery President Biden spoke of the "ultra-MAGA agenda" and also rubbished the "lies" being spread about "reckless spending". Mr Morrow also spoke of the latest Civiqs poll numbers, which he said showed President Biden "with a record-low approval rate". "So, no wonder there are cracks beginning to appear in the Democrat edifice as the nation hurtles towards the November midterms," Mr Morrow said.

CNN)Both cite the same Bible. Both follow the same Jesus. And both talk about the sanctity of life. And yet both stand on opposite sides of the contentious debate over abortion. Trent Horn, an author, speaker and podcaster, is a Roman Catholic and an opponent of abortion rights. Laura Ellis supports legal abortion rights and is project manager at Baptist Women in Ministry, a Baptist group that advocates for women in ministry. Both personify the divisions over abortion in the church — and show how complex the issue can be when two smart and well-informed people cite scripture to support...

(CNN)The only abortion clinic in North Dakota is now preparing to move across state lines following the recent Supreme Court ruling on Roe v. Wade. Red River Women's Clinic, located in Fargo, has been the only provider in the state for 20 years. They now await closure, which will leave many women in the state without care. Clinic Director Tammi Kromenaker told CNN Saturday they are still open, for now. "The plan is to provide service as long as we legally can," Kromenaker said. North Dakota is one of many states that have trigger laws on the books aimed to...
