After the decision was announced several celebrities condemned the decision and called it devastating news for all the Americans.

“All these old, irrelevant motherf***ers trying to tell us what to do with our bodies,” Bridgers added. She also condemned and shared her abortion story on her Twitter account last month, ''had an abortion in October of last year while I was on tour. I went to planned parenthood where they gave me the abortion pill. It was easy. Everyone deserves that kind of access.  Here’s a big list of places you can donate to right now.''
