As protests and acts of vandalism pop up across the country after the Supreme Court's ruling in favor of the State of Mississippi in relegating abortion regulatory authorities to individual state governments, demonstrators were criticized for being somewhat "ignorant" of the true facts of the decision.

Pointing out that the unrest has largely been in Democrat-run cities and states like New York, Washington and Montpelier, Vt., Fox News host Greg Gutfeld commented on "The Five" that the pro-choice advocates there don't necessarily need to worry about abortion being banned.

"It's interesting: a lot of the protests are in cities that aren't going to be affected by it," he said. "And so I think what you're going to see is just a lot of kind of like this: There's a lot of ignorance going around. A lot of people don't know what this means."

ABORTION RULING: DEMOCRATS SAY FOLLOW THE SCIENCE ON EVERY ISSUE EXCEPT ROE, MARK LEVIN SAYS

While several states have "trigger laws" that made abortion illegal following any overturn of Roe v. Wade, many jurisdictions like New York and the District of Columbia are not likely to follow suit, despite some protesters' concerns about a nationwide ban.

Gutfeld referenced "famous liberals" renouncing citizenship over the ruling as celebrities like Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong vowed to renounce his U.S, citizenship while performing in England, declaring "f--- America" and telling fans he planned to stay in Great Britain.

"Good luck finding a country that has abortion-on-demand like the United States," Gutfeld said. "If you look at any map of Europe, you're going to find out that most countries in Western Europe and elsewhere are like pretty much more strict."

In Phoenix, legislators were in-session when the State Capitol was converged upon by protesters to the extent police needed to deploy nonlethal chemicals. Some Republicans claimed the unrest an "insurrection", while Sen. Kelly Townsend, R-Pinal, declared the need for a January 6-style panel.

"We smell tear gas and the children of one of the members are in the office sobbing with fear. I expect a [June]-24 committee to be created immediately," she said.

Fox News host Jesse Watters called the unrest there a "rampag[e]", adding a Colorado pregnancy center was also "torched" by "extremists."

Protesters also attacked the Vermont State Capitol in Montpelier with vandalism and graffiti, which host Dana Perino pointed out is not only wrong on its face but misguided in that Vermont legislators previously codified abortion as a right in the State Constitution.

"I don't know why are they attacking in the state capital in Vermont -- That doesn't make any sense," she said.

Vice President Kamala Harris faced a rare bipartisan attack on Twitter following a post about fighting for abortion "rights" from Friday night.

On her official vice president Twitter account, Harris posted an image of herself watching CNNs coverage of pro-choice protests while flying on Air Force 2.

"I know there are women out there who are afraid. To those of you who feel alone and scared: I want you to know the President and I are fighting for you and your rights. We are in this fight together," Harris tweeted.

After the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade case, several pro-choice protests broke out throughout the country with riots taking place in major cities.

Although several other Democrat politicians denounced the courts decision, many liberal Twitter users called out Harris tweet as being too vague and meaningless.

"Could you be specific? Like, *how* are you fighting? Describe the tactics, explain the policy, give us the rundown," New York Magazine contributor Hillary Kelly wrote.

Actor James Urbaniak joked, "I want you to know: we are watching TV."

"Um. 36,000 feet above everything, watching on a big a-- TV in a private plane, and the message is we're in this together? I'm not sure you guys get where the rest of us are at right now," Daily Kos writer Joan McCarter posted.

"Not VP Kamala Harris watching the erosion of #RoeVsWade from her plane, at a distance. Whoever thought this was good photo-op needs to be fired immediately. This is literally the embodiment of thoughts and prayers," writer Anna Gifty tweeted.

Sports writer Trent Reinsmith similarly echoed, "So, more or less, 'thoughts and prayers...'"

Ernest Owens, editor-at-large for Philadelphia magazine, tweeted to Harris, "Change his mind on this [changing the filibuster to protect abortion rights] and I'll believe you."

In 2021, court documents indicated that Harris colluded with abortion providers as she worked a case against pro-life journalist David Daleiden as California's attorney general.

More recently in May, Harris met virtually with abortion providers at the White House to discuss the potential impact of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade.

Kamala Harris tweet on abortion rights slammed by liberals: Literally the embodiment of thoughts and prayers - Fox News

The Supreme Courts three liberals in a fierce dissent Friday said the conservative majoritys decision overruling Roe v. Wade means that from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of.

The 6-3 ruling erases the nearly 50-year-old constitutional right to abortion first recognized under the 1973 landmark decision and hands states the power to drastically limit or even ban the procedure outright.

The courts liberal trio of Justices Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor, in a blistering 66-page dissent, condemned the conservatives for toppling the delicate balance of interests that Roe and related decisions sought to strike.

Today, the Court discards that balance, they wrote in dissent. It says that from the very moment of fertilization, a woman has no rights to speak of. A State can force her to bring a pregnancy to term, even at the steepest personal and familial costs.

Whatever the exact scope of the coming laws, one result of todays decision is certain: the curtailment of womens rights, and of their status as free and equal citizens, they added. As of today, this Court holds, a State can always force a woman to give birth, prohibiting even the earliest abortions. A State can thus transform what, when freely undertaken, is a wonder into what, when forced, may be a nightmare.

The majority ruling upholds Mississippis 15-week abortion ban, which directly clashed with Roes requirement that states permit abortion up to the point of fetal viability, around 24 weeks

Justice Samuel Alito, writing for the majority, called Roe egregiously wrong from the start, adding: It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the peoples elected representatives.

The Friday ruling will fundamentally reshape American society and yield a complex patchwork of state laws that will effectively block large swathes of the population from terminating unwanted pregnancies.

More than two dozen states, primarily in the South and Midwest, are expected to tighten abortion access as a result of Roe falling, including 13 states with trigger bans set to take effect automatically or through minimal effort by state officials.

Newly-elected congresswoman Mayra Flores, R-Texas, took aim at the Democratic Party for abandoning Hispanics telling "America Reports" her victory shows South Texans had been taken for granted.

MAYRA FLORES: The Democratic Party has abandoned the Hispanic community. They are focused on White liberals. They are not focused on the Hispanic community, they couldn't care less. They are not representing our values. We are about faith, family and hard work and thats not the Democrat Party. In South Texas, Im fighting for the conservative values that we were instilled, and I think its important we continue fighting for those values. Look, Im not loyal to a party.

GOP CONGRESSWOMAN-ELECT ON HISTORIC WIN: DEMOCRATS TOOK VOTERS IN TEXAS FOR GRANTED

Ill say it over and over, my loyalty is with God, my family and with my community and I believe that its time to put Texas District 34 first. We have never had a voice here in Washington. No one really cared what we had to say and now people do care about the Hispanic community, now people actually care about the voice of Texas District 34. Im proud and humbled to be representing all Texas District 34 and Hispanic communities throughout the country.

There are some Canadians who may be under the mistaken impression that Prime Minister Justin Trudeaus job is primarily to fly around the world attending climate parties, contract completely asymptomatic COVID multiple times and pal around with polarizing California Governor Gavin Newsom.

This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below.

After all, thats what Trudeaus been most visibly up to in recent weeks. He acts like those are the routine tasks on his daily checklist.

But to whatever degree those footloose and fancy free activities do fall under the job description of PM, theyre very much tertiary ones. Theyre not the meat and potatoes of the job.

Ask yourself this: What does the federal government actually do? What are its key duties? And when are the times you or your family have actually engaged with a federal government service?

That last question is an interesting one, because we dont interact with the feds all that much on a daily basis. The bulk of the government services on which Canadians rely comes to them from the municipal and provincial level.

But the federal services that we do rely on, the ones that Trudeau and his cabinet are responsible for managing, are now failing in real time for all to see.

Lets take the airport debacle. Canadians have a right to expect orderly, fast and efficient customer service at airports, both for domestic and international travel. Thats all been sent haywire in recent months mostly due to the governments inability to let go of pandemic restrictions.

Now that most Canadians acknowledge that COVID has receded to the background and the pandemic is for all practical purposes over, people have returned to travelling with gusto. Yet the feds both cant handle it and refuse to admit the pandemic is over.

The Ministry of Transport is tasked with providing a service to Canadians and they are failing. Minister of Transport Omar Alghabra was clinging to outdated pandemic rules like Gollum to the rings, rather than embrace evolved policies and swiftly solve the massive backlogs at airports.

(As I was writing this paragraph a reader email came into my inbox, with the correspondent noting: I flew from Calgary to Montreal last night. Reminds me of airports in third world countries Has the governance in Canada led to 3rd world status? It eerily resembles it.)

Then there are the unprecedented long lineups at Passport Canada offices across the country. Someone looking to renew their passport shouldnt have to camp outside a government building like its Sunrise Records in 1997 and the Backstreets Back Tour just went on sale.

The passport application and renewal process is a very basic service delivery. Yet the government cant handle it. They either wont or cant get a grasp on the situation.

Speaking of basics, theres also the problem with the rising cost of groceries, gas, housing and just about everything else. While inflation and cost of living arent traditional service delivery, they bear mentioning along with the other federal fumbles.

We apologize, but this video has failed to load.

The Bank of Canadas target of keeping inflation to 1-3% is arguably a federal service provided to Canadians to deliver a secure and stable economy and way of life. Theyve failed to deliver. Both the bank and the Trudeau cabinets attitude towards spending has worsened our economic situation, as various experts including a recent Scotiabank report attest.

These are the things that matter. Theyre some of the core functions of the federal government. You can ace every climate change speech in the world, but it doesnt matter if you cant assist a person with renewing their passport in a reasonable amount of time.
