From the Center for Reproductive rights: "Not surprisingly, the opponents of reproductive rights are furious about today's decision. The anti-choice group Americans United for Life just launched an alert rallying their supporters to "sustain the attack against tax-payer funded abortion." They've created the "Federal Abortion-Mandate Opt-Out Act"—which eight states have already used to block insurance plans currently covering abortion from receiving federal funding in their state exchanges."
Sigh.

I am concerned over the portion of the decision concerning Medicaid too- most certainly can have an adverse effect on women overall.
The Teavangelical-publicans will continue the attacks on reproductive rights no matter what, however, I agree that this is going to be more fuel on the fire.
Oh, and I wonder if Rush Limbaugh is going to make good on his promise to move to Costa Rica if the SC did not find the Affordable Care Act unconstitutional. Just shows how sure the idiot was that it would be deemed so.
Have to share this-
