Description
The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade Friday, holding that there is no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion.
Five justices signed onto the majority opinion, striking down the landmark decision. They are:
Clarence Thomas
Samuel Alito
Brett Kavanaugh
Neil Gorsuch
Amy Coney Barrett
And three justices dissented:

Chief Justice John Roberts did not join the majority, writing in a concurring opinion that he would not have overturned Roe but instead would have only upheld Mississippi's law banning abortions after 15 weeks.
