THIS CAN'T HAPPEN
Thanks to a packed Supreme Court in the USA, women's rights may be stomped on by a new ruling that puts a woman's rights back 50 years. Just think about that. Women had to fight a long battle just to have the right to vote. Equal pay for the same job as men, as we suffer sexual harassment and abuse from our bosses. Now with this leaked opinion in the highest court of our land, women are being threatened once again.
How is this possible? This issue of female autonomy was settled back in 1973.
According to 7 sources
Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. The decision struck down many U.S. federal and state abortion laws.
This decision set precedent: the convention established by such a precedent or by long practice, these newly appointed judges said in confirmation hearings that precedent was law, not to be challenged.
THEY LIED
Well, the saying goes all governments lie, but that doesn't mean we ladies shouldn't rise up again and fight this corrupt system.
We have every right to say STOP, my body is my own and no government should dictate how I care for what is mine.
If this decision is upheld, it would set women back 50 plus years, we may never recover from this, at least not in my lifetime.
I believe this has been driven by the far right, elitists that do not respect woman at all. Men in power don't give a crap what women want, need or earn in the big picture of freedom for all, the pursuit of happiness. This shakes me to the bone. What's next, outlawing my hair color, or my skin color. GEEZ!! Give me a break.
If Roe v Wade gets overturned, ladies we are going back to some dark times. This will affect everyone but especially the poor of our country. What I am trying to say is, PLEASE don't send us back to the dark ages. Each and every American should have the right to FREEDOM, CHOICE AND AUTONOMY.
We don't have to agree with those choices or decisions, but we must respect the human rights of all Americans, not comply with the bogus court that now exists in this great country. People came to these shores looking for FREEDOM.
Thanks for such an awesome question of the week.
Much love,
