Celebrities and Politicians React to Roe v. Wade Decision

On June 24, Obama responded to the Supreme Court's decision on Roe v. Wade via a Twitter thread that both addressed the attack on human rights and called for people to stand with activists who continue to fight for those rights. "Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans," he wrote in one tweet.

In another, Obama added: "If you're looking for ways to respond, @PPFA, @USOWomen, and many other groups have been sounding the alarm on this issue for years—and will continue to be on the front lines of this fight."
