‘It Will Kill and Subjugate Women’
Hillary Clinton Monday evening fumed as news broke about the Supreme Court’s decision to strike down Roe v. Wade.
Via Politico: “The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO.”
Justice Alito’s opinion is a “full-throated, unflinching repudiation” according to Politico.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito wrote. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Clinton, who spent Monday night at Met Gala in New York City, aired her grievances on Twitter.
“Not surprising. But still outrageous,” Clinton said.
“This decision is a direct assault on the dignity, rights, & lives of women, not to mention decades of settled law. It will kill and subjugate women even as a vast majority of Americans think abortion should be legal. What an utter disgrace.” she added.

Hillary Clinton Monday evening arrived at the 2022 Met Gala in a Bordeaux-colored custom gown.
According to Vogue, Clinton donned a custom Joseph Altuzarra dress featuring 60 women’s names embroidered along the neckline and hem “as an homage to women who inspire her including Rosa Parks, Lady Bird Johnson, and Clinton’s mother, Dorothy Rodham.”
Clinton was all smiles on the red carpet as a masked servant tended to her gown.
