Calm Down People- Especially Those Who Don’t Live Here

Jesse, I respectfully disagree with you. 26 states are expected to ban abortion, leaving more than 33 million women without access to abortion care. At least 1 in 4 women will have an abortion by the time they're 45, and they choose to have abortions for many reasons, including medically risky pregnancies, unviable pregnancies, rape, incest, etc. Now, many will be forced to forego that choice, which history has shown, will put women’s lives at serious risk.

The end of Roe means the end of a constitutional right that, for nearly half a century, gave people agency over their bodies and reproductive choices. Already, the US has the highest maternal mortality rate of developed nations, and studies have shown that number could increase in the wake of abortion bans.

The end of Roe means the end of legal abortions in over half the states in the country. It doesn’t mean abortions end. It means more women will die because they have to seek other means.

This isn’t about life nor babies. It’s about control and economics. It’s about the will of a minority ruling over what the majority wants. 61% of Americans think abortion should be legal.

I never had to have an abortion, but I sat with friends who did. It was not a decision they made lightly. It was deeply personal and deeply painful, but it was the best decision in their circumstances. It should be between the woman, her partner if she has one, and her doctor. No one should have sovereignty over another’s body.

It’s the precedent this ruling has set Jesse. Women are in a constant state of having to defend themselves. This is just another slap, telling us we are not in control of our own bodies or health. And this is only the first ruling on a long agenda.

I fear for the freedom, privacy, and safety of my niece as she grows into adulthood.

Okay. But to be fair some states like mine, have made it illegal.

Shhh, don’t tell that to wacky leftists. They’re mid rant.

Abortion should never have been a constitutionally protected right.

I’m not even American and I think it’s outrageous, backward and I’m in shock. My heart goes out to women in those states. Especially yours.

The simple fact is that the overturning of Roe v Wade has to do with correcting the legal fiction that the court can create a constitutional right by its own authority. Under the Roe v Wade precedent the court can simply impose rights as it sees fit which completely destroyed the amendment process laid out in the constitution.

Bottom line is funding yes?

You can still get abortions in every state.. just you gotta pay for it now not the taxpayer.. imagine that.. paying for your own choices.. the shock! The horror!
I’m sure blue run states will continue on..

True.. many blue states
