Cher, Bette Midler and Taylor Swift react to Supreme Court’s rollback on abortion rights

The Supreme Court’s decision to roll back abortion rights was a big hit with right-wing activists, though it was largely met with fear, frustration and resilience by creative types.

Not surprisingly, one of the most outspoken performers leading the charge against Friday’s high-court ruling was outspoken singer Bette Midler, who typed up several tweets on the topic.

“They did it to us,” she tweeted in reference to the now-conservative court.

Midler also suggested a leaked memo previewing the ruling was leaked May 2 so Republican lawmakers would have “trigger laws” in place so they could act immediately once the judgment came down. The “For the Boys” star fears the right-wing justices on the court are only getting started in a culture war that will soon target other vulnerable Americans.

Singer Bette Midler was fuming at the news.

“Get ready gays,” she warned. “You’re next.”

Singer Cher also also expressed concern after the 6-3 ruling that turned back women’s rights to 1972, before the landmark Roe v Wade decision that made abortion legal. She pinned the blame on former President Donald Trump, who stacked the court with justices who would energize Evangelical voters.

“Today, Trump’s radical (Republican) Supreme Court became Responsible for the deaths of hundreds if thousands of American women,” she typed in capital letters.

“Shake it Off” singer Taylor Swift was “terrified” by the court’s decision.

“I’m absolutely terrified that this is where we are — that after so many decades of people fighting for women’s rights to their own bodies, today’s decision has stripped us of that,” the 32-year-old superstar tweeted.

Swift also shared a letter from Michelle Obama in which the former first lady wrote she was “heartbroken” by the court’s decision.

“Salem’s Lot” author Stephen King agreed the nation’s highest court dragged the United States backward.

“It’s the best Supreme Court the 19th Century has yet produced,” he tweeted.

Basketball great LeBron James retweeted pro-choice quotes from several people including former President Barack Obama, then accused anti-abortion rights activists of enacting a self-serving agenda.

“It’s absolutely about power & control,” he, too, wrote in all capital letters.

Not every performer took issue with Friday’s historic ruling. Professional wrestler Glenn Jacobs, better known by his stage name Kane, hopes his state tightens its hold on access to abortion.

“Roe v. Wade has been overturned!” the 55-year-old grappler tweeted. “This clears the way for states like TN to pass stronger protections for the unborn, and is an answer to a prayer for so many.”

Jacobs was elected mayor of Knox County, Tenn., in 2018.

Emmy award-winning actor James Woods celebrated the ruling as a positive step toward taking authority away from the federal government.

“Decisions about abortion will now rightfully be left to the States to legislate,” he tweeted. “Or not.”

Critics of Friday’s court decision have expressed doubt that the Supreme Court does not intend to ban abortion at the federal level. MSNBC host Chris Hayes tweeted it is “absolutely” congressional Republicans plan to build on Fridays conservative victory. Politicians from both side of the aisle urged voters to show-up in November and make their intentions known.

Actor Kevin Sorbo, who starred in 1990s TV series “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” simply seemed to view the ruling as a victory for fetuses that will endure to become babies.

“Life Wins,” he tweeted.

Trump — who had previously been a reality TV performer — declared victory too. He said in a statement is was his “great honor” to put justices on the court who made Friday’s ruling possible.

Polling shows a majority of Americans support a woman’s right to choose. A Reuters/Ipsos survey taken before the Supreme Court ruling found more than 70% of people in the U.S. felt abortion choices should be made by individuals, rather than legislators.

While only one in 10 people asked felt abortion should be banned across the board, just 26% of respondents reportedly believed it should be legal without exception.
