The U.S. Supreme Court formally overturned Roe v. Wade on Friday. The justices concluded that the constitutional right to an abortion, which had been a right for 50 years, is no longer valid. This means that abortion will not be available in large swaths of the country. Everyone, from the Obamas to Bill Gates, including Los Angeles Dodgers’ pitcher David Prince, has reacted to this controversial court ruling.

The enormous, green banner with the words "Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights" may be seen in a video Rise Up 4 Abortion Rights posted on social media.

"Overturn Roe? Hell No!"

In a press release, the group said it was calling on people to "wear green and raise hell" to stop the U.S. Supreme Court from overturning Roe v. Wade.

The overturning has sparked national outrage as activists work to preserve abortion rights.

Concerns have been raised that the US Supreme Court's ruling may have far-reaching effects, in addition to barring women from obtaining safe and legal abortion methods. For example, it may make it more challenging for Americans to use reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

The Dodgers were the first Major League Baseball team to ever play in Los Angeles. Since moving to Los Angeles, the Dodgers have won 12 more National League Championships and six more World Series rings.

This year, the Dodgers are in a fortuitous situation. They have been able to maintain the health and productivity of their starting staff, despite Andrew Heaney's injury. The bullpen's performance, which has also been fantastic, can be partly blamed for that.

David Prince, who tweeted about the overturn of Roe v. Wade, has not been activated and has not pitched in a game since April 22. In fact, he has appeared in just five games all year long.

What do you think about the overturing of Roe v. Wade?
