Abortion is healthcare is a right.
Takeaways
- Infant mortality rates and women’s health issues are higher in red states (see links)
- Women don’t wake up and say, “I’ll get an abortion!” It’s a difficult decision, especially if they want to keep the baby but can’t for health or financial reasons.
- America was founded on religious freedom, separating church and state. A lot of the Christian God language came in the 1950s. - https://statesymbolsusa.org/symbol-or-officially-designated-item/state-motto/god-we-trust
- How does it make sense to say “my body, my choice” as an anti-vaxxer, yet not allow a woman to make the same choice about her own body?
- We can stand up for our rights through protest, writing letters, and funding organizations.
- Vet your sources.
- Restrictive abortion policies adversely impact lower-income women and families that can't afford access to quality services or to travel to seek health services.
- Reversing Roe v. Wade goes beyond a woman’s right to choose what is best for her and her family. It has implications for privacy on a broader level.
- It could impact other rulings that legally recognized the right for interracial and LGBTQ marriages for instance.
