Seven-time Formula 1 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has condemned the actions taken by the US Supreme Court, who has ended the right to abortions in the country.
The court overturned the Roe v Wade ruling that recognised a woman’s right to an abortion, which has been in place for five decades.
The decision has sparked outrage across the United States, with several major figures commenting on the decision.
Hamilton, who often speaks out over human rights matters, lashed out at the ruling, taking to Instagram to express his anger.
“Disgusted by the decision made by the Supreme Court in the US today,” said the 37-year-old.
“I don’t understand why some in power pushed and continue to push to strip rights away from millions of people. This decision will impact the most vulnerable among us.
“Women, people of colour, members of the LGBTQIA+ community and so on.
“The following organisations provide resources to protect the people that need it and fight to ensure peoples rights to choose – Planned Parenthood is matching donations.
“The ACLU is fighting to expand access and protect reproductive rights and fundamental freedoms.”
Other major sports stars and organisations have also spoken out against the ruling, including IndyCar’s Dalton Kellett, tennis legend Billie Jean King, US soccer captain Megan Rapinoe as well as the WNBA Players’ Association and NBA commissioner Adam Silver.
Abstinence is a choice, Murder is not. Life is precious and to be celebrated.
Lewis! Read the US Constitution. Nowhere is abortion mentioned. Roe V Wade should never have been allowed in the first place. All this decision has done is put the power back with the Individual State, where if belonged in the first place. If a woman still wants to abort, she simply goes to a Blue State.
Not everyone can afford to go to a blue state for an abortion can they, though?!
The pill isn’t expensive. Condoms aren’t expensive. Abstinence is free
You know what else is free? Minding your own damn business. Maybe try that instead of pushing your beliefs on people. Have a great day
And judging by your comment below you are against gun ownership. So much for minding your own business. Good luck protecting yourself from young black male gangbangers when they are literally the only people left with guns in the US, as no one seems to care that they commit almost all violent crimes with ILLEGAL/UNTRACEABLE guns. Very rarely does a person use a legal weapon to commit a crime…
Well, with a communist regime in control under the guise of “liberalism”, no one can afford to go anywhere, let alone a blue hell hole where everything is 10x more expensive. But abstinence and good decisions are still free!
Slavery wasn’t mentioned in the Constitution either or gay marriage for that matter, should we bring back slavery and abolish gay marriage also going with your logic?
Slavery never ended (all common Americans are slaves to the IRS and jewocracy), and gay marriage is a joke.
So much for choice eh? If America values life so much, why not curb the mass shootings? Is it about the amendment ? ( which basically means subject to change). Good luck America….I’ll watch from the sidelines
The usual suspects…..
America home of gun care and health control
I suggest to Mrs Hamilton that it isn’t yet too late to abort her son.
Baby lives mater ?
And my body my choice only counts with abortion were the same people telling us to get Pricked for a normal life.
Its a distraction anyway support killing babies and don’t look at how many old people we are killing off with care pathway death camps formally know as hospitals.
What a libtard moron, why don’t these idiots actually read before they comment. Abortions will still be legal in the US and will be readily available to everyone that wants to kill their babies. The laws in most states will be far less stringent that those in the UK. Is he also disgusted by those rules that only allow abortions up until 12 weeks.
Maybe he should spend less time on social issues and more time in the car and maybe then he would be doing a little better in the standings this year. STFU Hamilton
The whole abortion cult mentality amongst liberals is really creepy, and I’m not necessarily anti-abortion… But the left’s obsession with killing babies is just bizarre. I’ve literally met women who “collect abortions” and fantasize about having them. One girl in particular would get pregnant, abort the baby, then hang the sonogram above her bed (as proof, I suppose). And organisations like Planned Parenthood are nothing but black market operations, which has been proven several times in front of congress, but nothing has ever come from it and never will because they have a tremendous amount of powerful people running and protecting it.
