The hosts of “The View” lamented during a Tuesday episode about the reported Supreme Court majority opinion slated to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The hosts responded to Politico obtaining a draft reportedly written by Justice Samuel Alito, who called the 1973 landmark decision “egregiously wrong from the start.” Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett reportedly joined Alito in the opinion.
Co-host Joy Behar called the decision “devastating” and described how she lost sleep over the news. The panel showed footage of Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett saying Roe v. Wade and the 1992 case Casey v. Planned Parenthood are established precedent.
“It sounds to me like all of them thought there was precedent set and that they would honor the precedent,” Behar said. “And now it’s the complete opposite that’s happening. Not that I’m surprised. You and I were talking before, we’re not surprised. We saw this coming. My worry is that this is just the beginning. Next they’ll go after gay marriage and maybe Brown v. Board of Education. They already eroded our voting rights a little bit, so I see fascism down the line here.”
