Conservative media members jumped for joy on Friday as the Supreme Court officially overturned Roe v. Wade, with the pro-life contingent declaring a “grievous wrong” had been righted.
Right-leaning media watchdogs and outlets didn’t hide their glee at the news, which had been expected following the leak of a draft opinion last month indicating the conservative majority planned to overturn the controversial abortion ruling.

The Republican-led state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down a lower court ruling that stopped the 15-week abortion ban from taking place.
The Dispatch’s David French, who has also argued religion liberty cases, called it a “great day for American justice.”

“This is a tremendous day for human rights in America. It is a victory for kindness, decency, & humanity, & a defeat for cruelty,” National Review’s Dan McLaughlin wrote.
“An absolute GLORIOUS day for LIFE in America! Praise God!,” tweeted NewsBusters…
