Many thought that it'd be Amy Coney Barrett, an anti-abortion mother of 7, who'd write the decision striking down Roe. But as @smencimer explains, it was always going to be Alito—whose arrogance and lack of empathy have always shone through his opinions.
Outside the Supreme Court, 2 days after Roe was gutted. A large crowd of abortion rights supporters. Some shouting at a small group of pro-life folks, separated by gates as police standing nearby.

The women who fought for reproductive freedom recall an astonishing decade of progress from about 1963 to 1973. Now, they see the Roe vs. Wade upheaval as a chilling challenge to the triumphs of the women’s movement.

Overturning Roe v. Wade and denying women the right to control their own bodies is an outrage and in defiance of what the American people want. Democrats must now end the filibuster in the Senate, codify Roe v. Wade, and once again make abortion legal and safe.
Abolish the filibuster. Codify Roe.
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has taken away our right to abortion and overturned Roe v. Wade, opening the floodgates for states across the country to ban abortion. The court has failed us all — but this is far from over. ⤵

The Supreme Court has voted to strike down Roe v. Wade, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito and obtained by POLITICO. “We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled,” Alito writes.
Congress must pass legislation that codifies Roe v. Wade as the law of the land in this country NOW. And if there aren’t 60 votes in the Senate to do it, and there are not, we must end the filibuster to pass it with 50 votes.
I don’t care how the draft leaked. That’s a sideshow. What I care about is that a small number of conservative justices, who lied about their plans to the Senate, intend to deprive millions of women of reproductive care. Codifying Roe isn't enough. We must expand the court.
