The Rev. William Barber II, co-chair of the Poor People’s Campaign, took to his Twitter account to denounce the Supreme Court's ruling, claiming that it was an attack on women’s rights.

“Too all women: I’m so sorry that this [extreme] court would vote to give a rapist more power over you than you have over your own body,” he tweeted.

“In response to attacks on voting rights, living wages & now women’s bodies, the just community’s response must be the most massive progressive voter turnout in the history of the nation.”
