A day after the Supreme Court's historic ruling in its land, which overturns the ruling in the Roe v. Wade case that guarantees the right to abortion, the winds in the country are stormy and the right and left are preparing for the political battle over the issue of abortion, which has divided the country for decades.
While President Biden and his entourage expressed anger and frustration at the court decision, the far left in the United States chose to send arrows at the Supreme Court.
Senator and candidate for the appointment of former Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren sharply attacked the court composition, saying: "They burned any legitimacy they may have had after their weapons decisions, after their voting rights decisions, their trade union decisions are simply trade union issues. "They took all that was left of their legitimacy and set it on fire with the ruling revoking Roe v. Wade. I believe we need to restore confidence in our courts. We need to increase the composition of the judiciary."

"I believe, and it has been the constitutional right of women across the country for almost half a century, that women should make the decision about abortions with their doctor, with their clergyman, our family, but it is not something the government has a right to interfere with," Warren continued.
Alexandria Oxyo Cortez, a member of the New York State Anti-Israel Congress of the Progressive Camp in the United States, also attacked the Supreme Court, saying: "I believe Supreme Court justices misled the public during their pre-incumbent hearings. "To take over our democratic institutions. I believe that lying under this week is an offense that can and should be dismissed by a judge."
Oxio Cortez also attacked the moderate faction in her party, saying: "We have seen a weak democratic policy in the past in dealing with the issue of abortions. It cannot continue."
Give credit to Trump
The conservative right in the United States celebrated the ruling, one of the great political achievements of the conservative movement, one that was carefully planned and promoted for years, using the sometimes controversial rules of American politics and law.
The Republican senator, and one of the most prominent conservative figures in the United States, Lindsay Graham, first commented on the ruling, saying, "This is a huge victory for an anti-abortion movement in the United States. We worked on this achievement for fifty years and made a constitutional revolution. Friday was a day of glory."

Graham, who has criticized former US President Donald Trump many times, praised him, saying that "the bulk of the credit goes to Trump."
"He fought like a tiger to put three conservative and constitutional judges on the Supreme Court and sided with Judge Kawano when he was attacked."
The right-wing ranks also defended the extremist position that abortion should be prohibited by law even in extreme cases of incest and rape.
The governor of the state of South Dakota, Christie Noam, is protecting the "trigger law" in the state, which allows abortions only in case the pregnancy endangers the life of the mother.
"I never believed that the occurrence of one tragedy was a reason to allow for another tragedy," a speaker said in an interview with local media.
A speaker called for a discussion on the fate of women who decide to have an abortion outside the country but noted that women "who will be forced to make a decision in difficult circumstances" will not be punished for it.
The public is less enthusiastic
Despite the celebrations on the right, most of the public in the United States seems unhappy with the Supreme Court ruling and holds the view that the right to abortion, especially in the first weeks of pregnancy, is a basic right that should, if not already, be protected by the U.S. Constitution.
According to a CBS News poll, 59 percent of the American public disagrees with the Supreme Court ruling.
According to the poll, 52 percent of the public think the decision is a "step back" for the United States and only 31 percent think it is a "step forward."
Among women in the country, 67 percent oppose the Supreme Court ruling and only 33 percent support it.

In addition, 58 percent of the American public, according to the survey, support a constitutional amendment that would guarantee the freedom to perform abortions in all EU countries.
64 percent of the public claim that they want an abortion to be legal in their country in all or most cases and stages of pregnancy.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court decision had some unforeseen and immediate consequences.
In the hours since the Supreme Court ruling, there has been a huge increase in demand for "the day after" pills and abortion pills in some of the states that are expected to aggravate or ban abortions in the United States.
Organizations helping women get the pills, especially in the conservative south of the United States, have reported an increase in the number of requests to see a doctor to get a prescription for the pills, more than four times the normal rate of requests.
The use of these pills is allowed with the approval of the US Food and Drug Administration until the tenth week of pregnancy, and the attempt to make abortions difficult in some EU countries has led to the great popularity of the treatment.
