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.

Exactly. F em. You mean far left commie countries “allies”, right? Japan, abortion is illegal. Saudi Arabia too, is illegal in general. So these allied countries don’t count?
“How many here trust every word Blinken says”
If Blinken says it’s sunny tomorrow, I’ll bring an umbrella. lIbErals LIE.
As far as I know A lot of America’s allies had significantly less liberal abortion laws than America.
Clear and unequivocal to you, a Prog who doesn't see the Constitution as anything but an outdated document to be ignored and misinterpreted whenever it stands against your Godless, and politically expedient purposes.
The sides are dividing up nicely.
I hope some churches celebrated and rang bells.
We better be careful, if the U.S disappoints them too much, they may start refusing to take our money. /s
(The Supreme Court has taken away the established, fundamental, constitutional right to abortion)
I must have missed where it says that.
Pretty bizarre, other countries wading into this thing.
Just think about this for a minute. The left wanted Ginsberg to retire during 0bama’s 2nd term. She refused because she wanted to be replaced by “the first woman president, Hillary Clinton.” Joke was on her, Clinton lost. Ginsberg vowed to stay on the bench and alive until Trump left office.
Essentially, the left should be directing their anger at Ginsberg for not retiring and at 0bama for not forcing her out like the Biden crew did to Breyer.

Oops x 2.
Woke Soros globohomo is a utopian, world wide ideology - a science of history, just like their Marxist predecessors believed
What business is it of theirs?
"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."
Ok...for the 100th time. The Supreme Court overstepped their authority by actually legislating a law. No prescedence. No reason. Just hubris. Perhaps that makes sense if you are aware that they are not the Legislative branch of our government. They are the Judicial branch. Next question? Why yes, there IS a God.
If US allies condemned the SC striking down the precedent of an earlier liberal court that allowed unlimited abortion up to the 9th month to send abortion back to the states, why did not a single one of these hypocritical US allies have unlimited abortion. Most blue states will likely retain unlimited abortions while other states will, much like Western allies, have a 16 to 24 week limit and, yes, a limited few will have much stricter limits. I get kind of tired listening to sanctimonious blowhard European allies constantly whining about the US not conforming to their silly ideals which they don’t themselves practice
Having people murder their own babies is an effective and inexpensive way to eliminate existing populations, clearing the way (and land) for foreign conquest (which itself has been made effective and inexpensive by the mass importation of enemy “immigrants” and “refugees” from anti-American, anti- Christian terrorist- infested islamicstans, communist China, etc)
Five under your desk, bend over, and kiss your ass goodbye
Wow !...did you ever hit the nail on the head with your post !
