So why's this gone so quiet? Was it a non story, or is it still pending a decision?

still pending a decision. there was just a "leak" that it would be overturned.

In some ways, it was always clear that Ms Cisneros would have an uphill battle to fight.

Though she had the backing of left-wing icons Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren, she struggled to garner the local support and endorsements needed to unseat a long-time incumbent.

At an appearance in San Antonio, Texas, for Planned Parenthood a week before the vote - abortion access was a key part of her campaign platform - few had even heard of her.

I see their complete obsession with personal freedom doesn't stretch to pregnant women. An absolute circus of a country.

Sickening decision but even worse, he (Thomas) cited the three cases that cover contraception, same sex marriage and homosexual sex as the next three he wants to go for.

America is either going to burn, literally due to uprisings or turn into a theocracy that middle eastern countries would be proud of.

Dark days. Y'allqueda indeed.

It seems like it'll be easier to get a gun and shoot children who have actually been born than it is to get an abortion for various reasons. 'Land Of The Free'.

Dark ages that Country is heading towards.

And as rumoured when it leaked weeks ago one of the judges comments also suggests there was overreach from the supreme court in legalising contraception, same sex relationships and same sex marriage.

The American Christian Right, pro life for a child life until it is born. Then they couldn’t give a ****.

This was one of the huge reason Trump getting elected was so huge for those groups and so dangerous for everyone else. It allowed him and his supports to pack the court with the Christian Right. The long project of American Conservatism

The right of the court are expected now to look at contraception and then marriage equality and then same sex relationship. One member also wants consider the right to overturn privacy in the bedroom.
We will see ripples over here now. No wonder the Tories want out of the European courts. They are the only thing that protects us from this happening here.

Their obsession with personal freedom only stretches as far as white, middle class, Christian, men.
