JERUSALEM – In a series of highly unusual actions, the U.S. State Department and world leaders waded into the bitterly contentious domestic dispute over Friday's Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion.
"As Secretary of State, I usually avoid commenting on Supreme Court rulings," America’s top diplomat Antony Blinken announced in a statement.
"But today’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade has raised understandable questions and concerns across the world and within our [the Department of State’s] workforce."
Linda Thomas-Greenfield, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, also took the Supreme Court to task for its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson’s Women’s Health Organization.
"The Supreme Court has taken away the established, fundamental, constitutional right to abortion from millions of Americans. This is a cruel, dark and dangerous decision," Thomas-Greenfield said. "What makes this decision so heartbreaking is that Americans had a clear and unequivocal constitutional right stripped away.
"Roe v. Wade not only protected the right to privacy, it also reaffirmed basic principles of gender equality. … I have traveled the globe advocating for women’s rights. Now, this decision renders my own country an outlier among developed nations in the world."
The rapid-fire moves by American diplomats to attack the nation’s top judicial body has raised alarm bells among commentators that this is a second act of President Barack Obama’s "apology tour" and an expression of homegrown anti-Americanism.

All they did was rescind a ruling.
They make no law.
Blinkin and our UN Ambassador have obviously sold out our country and should be removed by impeachment.
The contemporary advice comes to mind: “Stay in your lane.”
Nice.
It’s staggering how unhinged so many people are over the thought that babies cannot be wantonly killed as they used to be.
These folks are unhinged and demonically evil infested.
Who else would go into such a frenzied rage over the though of protecting a human being’s life?
Europe is getting invaded bit by bit and all they can think about is killing American babies.
Yeah, sure... the “anti-Russian” policy of not giving them the best blankets we had.
Yeah, sure... the “anti-Russian” policy of not giving theUkrainians the best blankets we had.
Well, they'll just have to go to another country, like maybe California or New York.
Bob Ross was awesome.
He was a (E-7) First Sergeant in the USAF.
Established? Fundamental? Constitutional?
Our nation’s top diplomat is an established, fundamental unconstitutional nitwit!
Hi.
Headline says allies condemn Roe ruling, but the article doesn’t say which allies.
Maybe I missed it.

Blinken’s days are numbered. He is almost as much of a vegetable as his boss.
Prog version of quoting scripture. Don't actually quote what it says, just what you wish it said.
well, i was a bit dramatic
but anyway yes, the dots do connect
And, never mind, the fact we armed Ukraine with offensive weapons and funded biolabs with deadly pathogens in them, something we sure as hell wouldn't tolerate if China or Russia were dong the same in Mexico.
You can't cover up the sins of our horrific, meddling foreign policy.
