What is Roe v. Wade?

The week of June 20, 2022 in the United States of America will go down in history as one of the most memorable and disheartening weeks in American history. If you are not familiar with Roe v. Wade let me help educate you. According to Britannica.com “Roe v. Wade, legal case in which the U.S. Supreme Court on January 22, 1973, ruled (7–2) that unduly restrictive state regulation of abortion is unconstitutional.” This ruling gave all women in the United States the right to choose abortion in early stages of pregnancy. A woman’s right to choose is just that, her natural given right to choose what is best for her both mentally and physically.

My Body My Right My Choice

Whether you agree or disagree with the practice of abortion it is not your right or the U. S. government’s right to decide or shame anyone that chooses to receive this medical treatment. Many underlying medical issues could lead to the death of women during childbirth.

The fact that millions of women are now forced to give birth in a state that has now adopted anti-abortion laws in 2022 is something our mothers and grandmothers would be furious over. The historical Supreme court vote that is responsible for overturning Roe V. Wade has not only put women of all ages, races, and religions in a dangerous situation, but it will also have negative financial repercussions for women and their families. The reality is women who choose to partake in the medical procedure will either have to travel out of state to receive treatment or birth a child that they are neither financially, mentally, or physically able to support.

Women’s rights what if?

What if your mother, sister, wife, daughter or family member were raped, or molested and at no fault of their own became pregnant with their attackers child? Would you shame them or support their decision to abort the pregnancy in question? Would you be willing to travel with her and be that support system she will need? According to the National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) “Nearly 1 in 5 women (18.3%) in the United States have been raped at some time in their lives, including completed forced penetration, attempted forced penetration, or alcohol/drug facilitated completed penetration.”

What if your wife or significate other had complications during their recent pregnancy and was warned to not have any more children. Would this change your mind? I guess these are some of the questions we would like to ask the Supreme Court Judges that voted to strip American women of their God given right to choose what is best for their bodies.

When I asked one of my readers what they thought about the Supreme Court’s decision their response was “No man but God has the right to tell a woman what to do with her body. Women are able to birth children and build nations, but can not decide whether or not they want to have a child.”

Conclusion

The rhetoric within the United States Government is at an all time high. The best way to continue to secure freedom of choice is to make it out to the election poles during national and local elections.
