With the leak of a draft document, it appears that this law is about to be overturned to the joy of some and the horrors of those who see it as a right to choice, that will soon be removed. In my opinion, men have no right to decide what goes on with or into women's bodies. If the high court was only populated by women, then for me, whatever argument or decision that was made would hold water. But that is not the case.
Further, if you believe in the right to life, you cannot also hold with the justice of the death penalty. if both opinions are held simultaneously, you are guilty of hypocrisy. is all life sacred? When the babies are saved and disabled or neglected, who is going to take care of them? Protesters can pat themselves on the back for their good deed, go to church and are done with it. Where is the personal, yes personal commitment?
There is another argument that a woman is the ruler of her sovereign body. Men have absolute rule over their bodies. If and when a seed is planted, is her body no longer her own? Think about that for a moment. Remove religious teachings from the scope. Men cannot be forced to get a vasectomy by the government if they impregnate too many females and don't take care of their progeny.
I am a bundle of Cognitive Dissonance over this topic (read your BF Skinner). I think many Americans struggle with it as well even if it is not discussed. I don't believe that any woman enters into a decision to terminate a pregnancy lightly. There is always great emotional pain.
Further, society does a poor job of caring for the invisible disabled adults in our midst. They too are citizens with all the rights and privileges afforded to all citizens. And yet, as they grow older and less pleasing to the eye, are housed in group homes and other places to be dealt with until their demise. Our dear Shanon lives with housemates that are adult castoffs, yes societal cast offs. They never make the news and they have no real voice.
All my opinions
all for now
stay safe
