I THINK WE ALL SHOULD TAKE A STEP BACK AND REMEMBER WHY THERE WAS A ROE v. WADE in the first place. The case was about 50 years ago.
Why was it necessary to create a abortion law in the first place ?
It was necessary because women were dying and getting infected in unlicensed back room clinics and treated by unqualified and unregulated non-professionals. Women were damaged, scarred and infected. Many young women died due to complications that could not be resolved because many facilities did not have the ability to handle complications. So the balance on one side was that some women became infected, and some women died. The other side of the balance was to have the unwanted pregnancy run to full term, give birth and put the baby up for adoption. Fifty years ago it was a different world. I know ! There was a big stigma about a girl or young woman having a child out of ” wedlock “. It was a big taboo with many “Holier Than Thou” people back then that liked to pass judgment and whisper , and gossip. So that is the super short recap of Roe v. Wade. Women no longer had to go to unsanitary, unqualified , underground back room abortion clinics. They could go to a clean and sanitary medical facility and be treated by qualified trained medical professionals.
What I do NOT understand is why the SUPREME COURT of THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, by a very slim margin, would vote to take away the reproductive rights of women. 4 MEN and 1 WOMAN voted to strip those established rights away from MILLIONS OF WOMEN IN THE USA. WHY ARE ANY 4 MEN QUALIFIED TO PASS JUDGEMENT ABOUT A WOMANS RIGHT TO CHOOSE REGARDING MEDICAL PROCEDURES?
IF A WOMAN HAS MONEY, I AM SURE THERE IS NO PROBLEM FLYING TO ANOTHER STATE AND HAVING THE PROCEDURE IN A PROFESSIONAL, CLEAN AND SANITARY MEDICAL FACILITY.
SO WHO WILL IT HURT ? THE POOR WOMEN THAT ARE STRUGGLING THROUGH LIFE AND DO NOT HAVE MUCH MONEY. THEY ARE THE WOMEN THAT WILL AGAIN BE REQUIRED TO SEEK BACK ROOM ILLEAGAL ABORTION PROCEDURES BY ” WHO KNOWS WHO ?”
IT IS NOT RIGHT. IT IS A SIN ! THESE 5 JUSTICES ARE ALL CONSERVATIVE AND I SUSPECT THAT IF SOME WOMAN IN THEIR FAMILY WAS RAPED AND BECAME PREGNANT, THEY WOULD CONSIDER AN ABORTION IN A NICE CLEAN AND PROFESSIONAL FACILITY.
Just my opinion,
