“Today, the overruling of Roe and Casey permits Missouri to renew its proud pro-life traditions and restore basic legal protection for the most fundamental of human rights - the right to life,” the state’s Attorney-General Eric Schmitt wrote. Pro-choice groups agreed, warning the court’s decision could lead to more unsafe procedures, result in unwanted pregnancies, or place pressure on the states that continue to offer services as more people turn to them for treatment.
Trump praised the court’s decision, telling Fox News: “This is following the constitution, and giving rights back when they should have been given long ago. I think, in the end, this is something that will work out for everybody.”His former vice president, Mike Pence, who is also seen as a contender for the 2024 presidential nomination, went one step further, calling for a national ban.
