SCOUS and abortion

 Let me just say it, I don't like abortion.

I don't like it--it seems like a waste.

But what I HATE, really Hate, is the government telling people what they can and cannot do with their bodies.

While abortion seems like a waste to me, it could be a life-saver for some women.

The Supreme Court draft is an invasion of privacy and 'privacy' is what makes this a great nation.

So, if the Court actually does invalidate Roe vs. Wade it will be an evasion of privacy that could see other privacy issues be weakened.

Plus it will discriminate against poor people and people of color.

And it could result in dangerous procedures that could harm women's lives.

If you're rich, you can get around the law and have a safe abortion.

Besides some states have laws waiting in the wings prosecuting women and doctors and make leaving the state for an abortion in a state like CT or NY a crime.

Plus, between 70 and 80 percent of Americans support safe and legal abortion.

Demonstrations across the country have shown how many people are willing to speak up for a woman's rights to her own body.

It will be a terrible, hateful, vengeful attack of freedom if the SC does do this.

 TERRIBLE. VENGEFUL. HATEFUL IN ALL CAPS.
