Americans are reacting with anger, joy, fear and confusion after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The chasm over the issue is on full display: Abortion rights supporters are condemning the decision as cruel and regressive and calling it a dark day in history. Abortion foes are rejoicing and saying it will save countless lives.
