I'm sort of conflicted on this issue. One the one hand, I'm a Christian woman who is grateful that unnecessary deaths will be prevented in many places where abortion has been used as birth control, instead of the last resort it should be; On the other hand, I'm aware that there are quite a few court-affirmed rights that are based on the Roe v Wade decision of 50 years ago, and we will need to be hyper vigilant to ensure that the new ruling doesn't create a new rush to overturn those rights as well. The original ruling was apparently the basis for the belief that bodily autonomy and privacy are a human right, and by overturning it, we may now become slaves to the state rulings/mandates where the individual states don't pass laws to protect us from that fate... THAT terrifies me in the same manner that I presume those pro-abortion protesters were afraid of this decision. (And I'm curious why I never heard a word about this aspect of the issue until after the decision was released and I was treated to both sides of the issue on social media for the first time?)
I think we should spend more time trying to listen to the other side's points before demonizing them as an automatic response. I wish I'd realized this sooner, even if I wouldn't have changed my position. I can understand a bit more now, and that can only help me to try to find a common ground going forward .

Stop treating women as if they don't have a brain. If men could get pregnant this would have never been a discussion.

Being old enough to know what went on before Roe, thousands of women & girls died from illegal abortions. They
would go to a dark to someone with a coat hanger or across the border & die from a blood infection. This puts
the women & girls in the dark ages & is totally non-American. I lived in San Diego for those period & those facts can be checked.
We need to fight this and elect people who will do the right thing.
