Amy expressed where she stands on the ruling in a controversial tweet: "ABORTION IS OVERTURNED!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!"

The 35-year-old's post sent social media users into a frenzy as they slammed Amy for her "offensive" comment.

One person simply responded: "Full offense, f**k Amy."

Others took issue with her second tweet: "Also I'm sure there will be guidelines in emergency / deathly complications procedure situations.

"But think of how many babies our country has killed. You cannot tell me we haven’t killed the child that could have cured cancer or that could have had a chance to change the world."

One outraged user commented: "Her follow up tweet...is so, so laughable."

Another agreed, adding: "It’s the follow up tweet that shows she has zero understanding."

A third person chimed in: "Wow so now you scam people and are celebrating the death of women in the United States. It's time for you to be canceled!"

And others vowed to boycott the star's clothing line, Thirty1Thirty, due to her posts.

Amy - who is estranged from her famous family - is known to speak her mind on social media about her opposing views from her uncle and aunt, Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar.

The mom of one previously slammed her cousin, Josh Duggar, 35, as "evil" in a post after he was convicted on child pornography charges.

She's also made her feelings known about other members of the Duggar clan for their lack of action regarding Josh's inappropriate behavior over the years.

'NOT ENOUGH'

In an exclusive interview with The Sun, Amy demanded her fallen family member receive the “harshest sentence” possible.

The oldest Duggar son requested just five years in prison, while the prosecution demanded he receives the maximum sentence of 20 years behind bars.

When asked how long she believes her cousin should be sentenced, Amy told The Sun: "There is a bible verse, Luke 17:2. 'It's better to hang a millstone over your head and jump into the ocean if you're going to hurt one of my little ones.'

“I’m sure he’s watched several children get hurt. If the bible says jump in the ocean and drown, how long would that equal in prison?”

The  owner continued that 20 years in prison “isn’t enough” for her cousin. 

She explained: “It’s not justice for the children. There will never be justice for the children. Twenty years isn’t enough.”

Amy - who is a mom to a 3-year-old son, Daxton, with her husband, Dillon King - began to distance herself from the family, and especially Josh, when she learned of the molestation and that he had been unfaithful to his wife, Anna, who continues to stand by him today. 

The ex-TV star said: “There is no remorse… It’s almost sociopath. There is no emotion at all. It’s very immature and extremely heartbreaking.”

JOSH'S SENTENCING

On Friday, Josh was released from the Washington County Jail in Arkansas as he awaited his transfer to FCI Seagoville or FCI Texarkana in Texas, depending on availability

Josh has been behind bars in the Arkansas jail since May because of overcrowding, The Sun previously reported.

A legal source explained: “It’s a waiting game and that's normal! The jail has no control over when the federal government transports him out of Washington County.

“Jails are crowded, it takes time to ‘decide’ on a facility, find an open bed, arrange transfer and more. The system moves slow. It's impossible to know a timeline.”

The father of seven was sentenced to 151 months in prison and faced $50,100 in fines for his wrongdoings.
