For years, women across the country have been warning about the end of abortion, and what it would mean for everyday women. With each new step this country took away from reproductive freedom — the election of President Trump; the confirmation of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett to the Supreme Court; the upholding of Texas’ clearly unconstitutional SB8 — the threats got more dire and urgent. So some of us chanted, we marched, we protested. We got loud.
Then, last week a leaked draft opinion from Justice Samuel Alito revealed that the Supreme Court is planning to overrule Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey – effectively overturning the federal right to an abortion.
Here’s the problem: What’s about to happen in this country isn’t just an assault on the vocal minority of women who’ve been taking to the streets, to state capitals, to the Capitol to demand that our voices are heard, that our rights aren’t trampled on, that our bodies stay ours.
It’s an assault on the silent majority of this country, too. On the women — and men — who haven’t chanted, marched, or protested. Who haven’t taken to the streets or shown up to halls of power. Who still, nonetheless, want abortion to be safe, accessible, and legal.
It’s a whopping 80% of all Americans, a supermajority. Some of us identify as pro-choice; others don’t. Some of us are Democrats; some are Republicans; and others still are apolitical. Some of us get lifesaving health care from Planned Parenthood; others have protested outside its doors. Some of us believe abortion is fundamental, an extension of our right to privacy and bodily autonomy.

So, her career couldn’t be interupted by a pesky child? I see.
When a error of this nature is de-federalized, it is equivalent to calling into question its moral foundations. That's why these people are so upset.
And because it's about NON-reproductive sex, it is by association getting the Obergefell crowd all riled up.
In the olden days, women had their very own "culture" section of the newspaper.
Thank you. That was a courageous post.
It was more like she didn't want to raise a child with a heroin addict she could never trust.
I was the lead technician so at the time she told me, she felt that I needed to know the unimaginable circumstances she was living with. The abortion apparently happened long before she got technical training at DeVry and hired on as a technician with MCI. She was a really messed up woman filled with the guilt and regret of killing her child.
I will be eternally grateful someone like you is not in charge.
Why would Faux Snooze do that?
