Michelle Obama and Amy Schumer are leading the furious public criticism of the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade today - with the former First Lady slamming the move as 'horrifying' while warning that it will have 'devastating consequences' for women across the US.
Dozens of celebrities have spoken out to share their horror over the landmark decision, including Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Busy Philipps, Bette Midler, Hailey Bieber, and Sophie Turner - with many of them choosing to share Obama's statement as well as their own thoughts on the issue.
58-year-old Obama was one of the first high-profile people to react to the decision, taking to Instagram to post a lengthy statement slamming the overturning of Roe v. Wade in the minutes after it was announced, describing herself as 'heartbroken' while blasting the Supreme Court for ridding women of their 'fundamental right to make informed decisions about their own bodies'.
'I am heartbroken that we may now be destined to learn the painful lessons of a time before Roe was made law of the land - a time when women risked losing their lives getting illegal abortions,' she wrote.
'A time when the government denied women control over their reproductive functions, forced them to move forward with pregnancies they didn't want, and then abandoned them once their babies were born.
'That is what our mothers and grandmothers and great-grandmothers lived through, and now we are here again.'
Obama was one of dozens of high-profile figures to speak out against the decision on Friday - with Schumer, 41, accusing the Supreme Court of determining women's rights by following the 'intentions of a bunch of slave-owning rapists who've been dead for hundreds of years'.

so much negativity
Who gives a flip what Michael thinks!
So any country’s founding documents become null and void after the signers have passed?
Actually, there was no shortage of hypocritical parents who wanted their daughter’s mistake erased through abortion. Doubly so for mixed race offspring.
It’s a done deal. They lost. Go ahead and try to amendment the Constitution, but that is their only option, and it is a steep hill to climb.
Better that they focus on improved morality and better services for women with babies that they do not want to raise. The country can become more morally upright but it has to want to change.
Hyperbole is all the left has.
Two women who do not need to worry about ‘being punished with
a Baby’. Michelle is overage, and Amy has her ‘on the autism spectrum’ (Amy’s description) Husband kept in line with a short, tight leash.
The stinking idiot who started allowing the murder was ole Sanger, who was wanting to cull black babies. These people are fools.
LOL, slave owning rapists. I don’t know any white guys that want it if offered, let alone rape...
Uh, I have not heard of these fools. Only that Cardasheons idiot.
