UN Human Rights chief Michelle Bachelet in a statement described this decision was a "major setback" for sexual and reproductive health across the US.
Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong said he will renounce his American citizenship following Supreme Court's decision to overturn 50-year-old Roe vs Wade judgement guaranteeing access to abortion across the United States. The judgement is being described by the many experts as "a huge blow to women's human rights and gender equality".
Mr Armstrong too expressed his frustration over the decision during his performance at the London Stadium in the UK on Friday. "F**k America. I'm f***king renouncing my citizenship. I'm f**king coming here," he told the crowd, according to Huffington Post.
"There's just too much f****** stupid in the world to go back to that miserable f****** excuse for a country," Mr Armstrong added. "Oh, I'm not kidding. You're going to get a lot of me in the coming days."
