DALLAS — The rollback of abortion rights has been received by many American women with a sense of shock and fear, and warnings about an ominous decline in women’s status as full citizens.
But for some women, the decision meant something different: a triumph of human rights, not an impediment to women’s rights.
“I just reject the idea that as a woman I need abortion to be successful or to be as thriving as a man in my career,” said Phoebe Purvey, a 26-year-old Texan. “I don’t think I need to sacrifice a life in order to do that.”
The Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade was a political victory, accomplished by lobbyists, strategists and campaign professionals over the course of decades. But it was also a cultural battle, fought by activists across the country including those in the exact demographic that abortion rights advocates warn have the most to lose in the new American landscape: young women.
Often pointed to by anti-abortion leaders as the face of the movement, a new generation of activists say they are poised to continue the fight in a post-Roe nation.
Many believe the procedure should be banned at conception — that even the earliest abortion is effectively murder. But they embrace the mainstream anti-abortion view that women are victims of the abortion “industry” and should not be prosecuted, putting them at odds with the rising “abolitionist” wing of the movement calling for women to be held legally responsible for their abortions.
And overwhelmingly, these young women reject the notion that access to abortion is necessary to their own — or any woman’s — success.

The sexual revolution, birth control pill, and abortion actually empowered men to be totally irresponsible and even more self centered than we already are. Hunter Biden is the epitomy of the liberated man.
True, but both sexes became much more reckless and irresponsible. And hollywood had already been promoting sex without commitment for a couple of decades.
Taht’s the pro-life movement’s secret weapon. Young, baby-making-age women are takign leadership of the movement, and they’re the abortionists’ target audience.
“Abortion rights”
There is no right to murder.
