Could've used those math textbooks 1. Should Roe v. Wade be overturned this summer, 13 states...

Much like prohibition of alcohol back in the day, the outlawing of abortion will create more problems than it’s supposed to be “ solving”

I’m a parent who lives in a country with probably the highest teenage pregnancy rate in the developed world. Abortion is also legal in our country but, as you can probably guess with a very high rate of teen mums going full term, not every girl or woman who is pregnant I under difficult living conditions will choose to abort their child just because they are not in a stable relationship. Most keep their child. Some abort.

ALL women should have the right to choose. It’s a difficult and horrible decision emotionally but it’s still a choice.

Actually that wont work in the US because the people your representatives serve are the people who contribute funds to their re election campaigns. Either change that or find a new place to live, where the government belongs to the voters😷

That's one important fact you overlooked... You stay the thirteenth is there to serve the people.. What about the people serving the government?
Half of you, nearly half anyway, don't like voting but then complain about the result.
You voting system itself sucks and is wide open to manipulation via the boundaries that are drawn.
Did those things to and then you will have a representative government

If you don’t own your body, then you own nothing. It’s the most basic thing. This isn’t about babies, conservatives couldn’t give a shit about them, it’s about power over others.

It wouldn't do any good to write them.😔We ARE being controlled. I don't think voting really does much good either. Our rights are slowly being taken away. We're faced with a system that is so secretive and so wildly out of control that the vast majority of us have no earthly clue as to what is going on, on this, the planet we inhabit.

Great advice. However imperfect the system is, you must engage with it as deeply as possible or you cannot complain about the consequences. The current situation is upsetting and confusing, but moaning about it will achieve little.

The women in those states that adopt this despicable law need to leave that state and move to states that will not adopt that law. Send those states with that law into economic melt down

Every woman and girl in the USA, should take the knee when the national anthem is played!!

Come on now, you don't need math when you have the bible.

And like clockwork, here you are to wring your hands about it. As if it will make a difference. Too predictable.

There are a few concepts missing from your writtings here.
1. We must remember that although our elected representatives exsist to serve " the people" if those people don't engage enough that the system won't work. Democracy only works as hard as its citizens do.
2. I believe that the Roe V Wade decision being overturned isin't really about abortion but is about state's rights. In other words whether or not on the national level the government has the right to tell each state what to do regarding this matter. Same as with the death penalty. This idea upholds the Constitution.
3. Laws and our understanding ebb and flow. The pendulum swings one way too hard sometimes but we all work together as a society to get it right.

Maybe if I donate $20 million, they'll take my call?
