Reactions from across the political spectrum poured in Friday as lawmakers and advocacy groups grasped the Supreme Court’s ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade.

“Life wins.”
Sen. Patty Murray, Washington Democrat:
“We aren’t going to stand idly by while they rip away abortion rights or go after birth control next,” she said on Twitter. “The American people will not forget Republicans’ cruelty—not today, not tomorrow, and not this November.”
Rep. Sara Jacobs, California Democrat:
