Star Trek actor George Takei had a passionate response to the news. "Those motherf*****s really did it," he tweeted. "First they came for Black voters, then they targeted LGBTQ+ families. Now, women of America, they're overruling Roe v. Wade. We have to unite and strike back. Take to the streets. Overwhelm them at the ballot box. They have gone too damn far."

Bill Gates was "shocked" by the development. "I was shocked to wake up to the news this morning. A reversal of Roe v.

Marjorie Taylor Greene

Not many pro-life stars have responded as of yet. However, one such opinion did come from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who tweeted: "Life starts at conception. Our constitution never did and never will give the right to murder another human being in the womb. Abortion was always wrong. A Republican controlled Congress will have the moral duty and obligation to pass the Life at Conception Act."

"Forced birth & illegal abortions across state lines is backwards & cruel," Mark Ruffalo wrote on Twitter. "The Supreme Court has BECOME the division.

Women will continue to get the abortion they need. Except those abortions wont be safe. Many, many women and girls will be mutilated or die."
