Friday, June 24th 2022 will go down as the worst day in American history for women. The constitutional right of women to an abortion was taken away. The Supreme Court gave the power to the states to ban abortion. At present, half of the states will pass or have already passed laws banning abortion. Many other states have placed strict regulations on abortion. Many of these states have zero tolerance and give no exception for an abortion. Abortions are not allowed even in the cases of rape, incest, and ill health of the unborn fetus and or in the case of a mother's well being. The states banning abortion have zero tolerance for abortion paving the way for a future of multiple suicides, and death of women attempting to abort the unborn fetuses themselves . The United States Supreme Court has officially taken women back to the 1900s.
Prior to Roe vs. Wade thousands of women died due to unwanted pregnancies. Today, in countries around the world where abortion is not permitted, approximately 8 to 11 precent of the maternal deaths are caused by illegal or self inflicted abortions. Many women attempting a self inflicted abortion die of septic shock. The United States has now turned back the hands of time for women which will inevitably lead to a tragic future for both women and unwanted children.
Unwanted children. Did Republicans think about them? Children born to drug addicted women who can't care for themselves let alone a child, who's going to care for them? Who's going to pay for the mental problems children born to drug addicted women? Republicans have focused on mental illness being the leading cause for mass shootings, well get ready for even more mental illness. What about the unwanted children that will have a life of being unloved and who will have no upbringing due to not being wanted? What about the unwanted children that will die due to not being treated medically due to a mother who can not afford healthcare for her child? No, Republicans didn't think of the cost of unwanted children, because they didn't think period when they pushed the Supreme Court to overturn Roe Vs. Wade. They didn't think, because it won't be them who will pay for the medical costs, and increase in welfare due to unwanted children. It will be the middle class who will pay even higher taxes to pay for the increase in needed funds for welfare of these unwanted children.
No, Republicans did not think at all when they urged the Supreme Court to over turn Roe Vs. Wade. They didn't think about unwanted children. They didn't think about children born to drug addicts, they didn't care if a pregnancy was out of incest, or rape, and they also didn't care about unhealthy fetuses putting mothers at risk or pregnancies of seriously ill women who can die if forced to carry a baby to full term.. Republicans didn't think, because they didn't care. All Republicans cared about was their "pro-life" agenda, never once thinking about the consequences, and there will be severe consequences.
Republicans didn't think, and I will admit I myself at one time didn't think. I, a longtime Republican and now anti-Trumper was once against abortion except in the cases of rape, incest, and poor health of a fetus. As my great grand mother once said , "if you can take the time to do it, you can take the time to have it". Well, I now realize it's not that black and white. Abortion is the best solution for women who do not have the means to take care of a child. Abortion is the best solution for women who are drug addicts living on the streets. Abortion is the best solution when the fetus is deemed terminally ill and destined for a short life of suffering . In the wild, many mothers will either kill or abandon their unhealthy young. Abortion is sometimes the most humane solution for an unhealthy child. Abortion is the best solution for a woman that will die if she carries her child full term due to underlying issues. Abortion is the best solution in many cases. While I do not agree with abortion being used in place of birth control, I do feel it should be the choice of the woman and it is a choice that that woman will have to live with for the rest of her life.
"You've come along way baby", was a famous slogan for Virginia Slims cigarettes back in 1968 celebrating the women' s lib movement. Well, apparently women have not come along way after all. Having the choice of having or not having a child taken away is taking away the voice of women. Women's voices no longer matter thanks to Republicans and their extremist religious views. Extremist religious views that truth be told many Republicans don't adhere to themselves. What the Supreme Court and Republicans have done is they have shown that the rights of women are always up for debate showing us that women have not come along way we have gone in reverse. You've come along way baby? Think again!

I agree with everything you've articulated. It is sad, tragic & outrageous all at once. Republicans are not thinking or considering the far reaching ramifications of this ruling. It's a selfish & inhumane decision. Talk about a drain on the economy! Perhaps we should impose an extra tax on Republicans to take care of these children & their mothers since they insist on imposing their self-righteous, judgemental & misguided morals onto some of the most vulnerable in our population. These decisions should be made individually & privately between a woman & her family, doctor, church or whomever she deems fit to consult with. Morality cannot be legislated. This issue should not consist of blanket legislation for millions. People in support of this may indeed feel differently if they or their loved one were forced to carry a child of rape or incest or had to lose their wife to unnecessary death from childbirth. Proponents of this do not possess the empathy or ability to walk in someone else's shoes and feel the fear, pain & suffering of the situations of despair so many will now face. Our country just stepped into a time machine. Welcome to the past!
