your vote, you can act. you can have the final word. this is not over. we went off the air at 10:00 a.m. on friday, and ten minutes later, this. this is an nbc news special report. . we have just received word of a decision in one of the most consequential cases before the supreme court in decades. the monumental ruling by the supreme court finally handed down more than a month after that unprecedented leak of a draft opinion suggesting the nation s highest court was poised to overturn the landmark 1973 roe v. wade case. the nation s highest court ruling 6-3 to uphold the mississippi abortion ban being challenged. chief justice john roberts supported that, but stopped short of overturning roe. that vote was 5-4, ending the constitutional protected right to abortion after nearly 50 years. the results follow decades after opponents of abortion made possible by three appointees to the high court by former presidential donald trump. the ruling reversed planned parenthoo
court, this court says it s coming after what consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedrooms next. or at least there s nothing to stop them. you re totally right. it s been 50 years of roe where dozens and dozens of justices have upheld it and now you have this court come along and say you know what, it s always been egregiously wrong, a constitutional stepchild, why is that, oh, because in the 18th century sometimes we made it criminal. oh, well, wait a second, what about same-sex marriage, what about contraception, it s all true of all of these things, and what the court says in its opinion is, oh, but we re not talking about those things today. it s a supreme court. they need reasons and the reasons they re trying to give that roe is egregiously wrong, don t hold up at all because they apply to all the things you re talking about, joe, so there is very little reason for consolation that they won t be
