Even if you contend that a fetus is a person (and I personally don’t know the answer to that), so is the woman carrying that fetus. Overturning Roe v Wade is trading the life of the woman for the life of the fetus. The new abortion laws are not about protecting the unborn, because the unborn cannot live if their mother dies! It is about controlling women.
If you needed more proof, just take Herschel Walker for example.
And, then there’s Texas’s no exception forced birth policy that doesn’t take rape, incest, or even the health of the mother into consideration.
Women are forced to carry dead or dying fetuses inside them. This risks not only their health, but their life. Because of these bans that prevent doctors from giving them an abortion.
Although the above video is not about a woman from the US, it is only a matter of time unless abortion rights are codified. And, below, are the experiences of real women in the US that have been affected by the reversal of Roe v Wade.
There is one light in the tunnel though. DOJ went to court, and it is now federal law to provide an abortion if the life of the mother is at risk.
The new abortion laws are not about protecting the unborn. It is about controlling women, and taking us back to the dark ages. Because of this we all need to vote in November, and we need to vote out those who do not represent us.
