The annulment of the right to abortion decided this Friday by the Supreme Court of the United States obeys “the will of God”, declared former Republican US President Donald Trump.

Asked by the Fox News channel what role he played in the decision, having clearly tilted the court to the right with the appointment of three conservative judges, Trump replied: “It is God’s will.” The decision “follows the Constitution,” he added.
The president of the United States, Joe Biden, charged this Friday against the three conservative judges of the Supreme Court of the country nominated by his predecessor, Donald
Trump (2017-2021), of the ruling that eliminates the protection of the right to abortion.
“Three judges appointed by a president, Donald Trump, are at the center of this decision to upend the scales of justice and eliminate a fundamental right of women in this country,” Biden said, referring to Justice Neil M. Gorsuch. , Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett.
states ban abortion
Several states in the United States have already announced measures to prohibit the voluntary interruption of pregnancy in their territory, after the Supreme Court revoked this Friday the right to abortion.
The attorney general of Missouri announced this Friday that this conservative state in the center of the United States became the “first” to prohibit voluntary terminations of pregnancy after the decision of the Supreme Court, which revoked the right to abortion. “Missouri just became the first in the country to effectively end abortion,” said state Attorney General Eric Schmitt on Twitter.
“This is a monumental day for the sanctity of life.” The Republican Governor of South Dakota, Kristi Noem, announced that abortion becomes illegal in this northern state of the country, under a so-called “zombie” law that was drafted a while ago so that it would automatically take effect if the Supreme Court changed the jurisprudence.
This law “specifies that, as of today, all abortions are illegal in South Dakota ‘unless a reasonable and proper medical decision establishes that an abortion is necessary to preserve the life of the pregnant woman,'” he said in a statement.
Shortly after, the Republican governor of Indiana announced that he will convene the legislature of his state, also in the north of the United States, to rule on the ban on abortion as soon as possible.
“The Supreme Court’s decision is clear, and it is now up to the states to address this important issue. We will do so ASAP in Indiana,” Gov. Eric Holcomb said on Twitter, adding that he has called the state general assembly to on July 6.
“We have an opportunity to make progress in protecting the sanctity of life, and that is exactly what we are going to do,” he said.AFP and EFE
