Megan Rapinoe

A group of prominent women athletes including soccer star Megan Rapinoe and basketball standouts Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird on Monday urged the US Supreme Court to protect abortion rights in a case involving Mississippi's Republican-backed bid to ban the procedure after 15 weeks of pregnancy.
Abortion opponents have asked the court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling that recognized a woman's right to end a pregnancy and made abortion legal nationwide . More than 500 athletes and groups signed a friend-of-the-court brief to the justices, including 26 Olympians, 73 professional athletes and various athlete associations.
Without the right to terminate a pregnancy, "the physical tolls of forced pregnancy and childbirth would undermine athletes' ability to actualize their full human potential," the brief stated.
"As women athletes and people in sports, we must have the power to make important decisions about our own bodies and exert control over our reproductive lives," Rapinoe, a two-time World Cup winner and an Olympic gold medalist, said.
Rapinoe has been outspoken on various political issues. Bird and Taurasi, both stars in the WNBA, helped the US women's basketball team win the gold medal at this year's Tokyo Olympics.
Bird is married to Rapinoe.

Megan Megan, Megan! Trust me—you run absolutely NO RISK of EVER becoming pregnant!
Even Laz wouldn’t hit if he were loaded on a handful of ‘ludes.
So female athletes that are dykes?...
Why do lesbos care about abortion
Hmmmm…. what fine point of Constitutional law was Megan arguing?
Cucumbers are sterile.
Satan’s Army can’t stand the thought of not being able to murder babies.
I will be so glad when I don’t have to hear about this ugly person any longer.
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Oh, ya, general defense of hedonism.....
But, but, but, I thought it identified as a male.
How far out can they be retroactive?
Exactly. I was gonna say “nothing says ‘support for abortion’ quite like lesbians seeking the limelight”
Me-again Lezzoho just wants it’s name in the news again...
That’s one ugly dude. Is that Megan’s brother?
Of COURSE she’d be for abortion.
It’s a potty her mother didn’t believe.
I think we should refer to them as pescatarians...
The same vax that the New England Journal of Medicine admitted that's causing 1 out of 8 pregnancies (of vaxxed mothers) to result in "spontaneous abortion" or stillbirth.
So the Dims' message is: abort your baby willingly, or get the vax to wind up aborting your baby unwillingly.
