A number of left-wing Hollywood celebrities spoke out over the recent Supreme Court’s overturn of Roe v. Wade, which is a major victory for the pro-life movement in America.
Amy Schumer, Chelsea Handler, Michael Moore, and many others argued against the ruling, demanding that Americans “wake up” and “fight back.”
“No justice, no peace,” liberal comedian Chelsea Handler wrote.
“THESE B*****DS,” 68-year-old filmmaker Michael Moore said.
“The choices we make in the next few hours will determine the fate of our democracy. Minutes ago the Supreme Court ruled, once again, that women are indeed second-class citizens — stripped of their rights to control their own bodies, and forced to give birth should they become pregnant,” Moore added.
“This is one of the worst abominations ever committed by this country,” he said. “And if we don’t act, RIGHT NOW, they will get away with it. So, on this day of infamy, I ask, I beg, I IMPLORE you —MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD! FLOOD THE STREETS!”
“Others in Hollywood had similar meltdowns over the decision to overturn the 1973 landmark ruling, including Bette Midler, Patton Oswalt, Ellen DeGeneres, and many more,” Daily Wire reported.
Here’s a look at some of their reactions:
Women have no right to make their own reproductive health decisions. Separation of Church and State is being obliterated. Everyone has a right to carry a concealed firearm. We’re being tyrannized by an Autocratic minority.

They did it. THEY DID IT TO US! #SCOTUS has overturned #RoevWade, enshrined in the Constitution as settled law for over 50 years. How dare they? This #SCOTUS is absolutely tone-deaf to the will and even the actual needs of the American people. #WakeUpAmerica

Throughout history, women haven’t been trusted. Not to vote, or to decide who they marry, and now to make their own decisions about their bodies. But you can trust we will not let this stand, that we will be heard, and we will get the rights we deserve. #RoeVsWade

I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are – that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that. https://t.co/mwK561oxxl

Banning abortion will disproportionately impact people of color, LGBTQ+ communities, people struggling to make ends meet, young people, and those living in rural areas.

Hey, guys… returned to the people and their elected representatives and their states means “Democracy is dead,” or something.
