A woman’s right to make her own reproductive decisions is an issue of bodily autonomy and freedom, and we need to recognize that. Abortion is healthcare and the government has no place getting in between women and their doctors. The recent Supreme Court decision striking down Roe is reprehensible and as a result, we need to codify the right to abortion into law now more than ever.
Following that decision, abortion has been banned outright in 8 states, with another 4 states banning the procedure after 6 weeks. Unfortunately, more bans are expected in the coming months. The GOP is now the party of forced birth that puts the rights of rapists ahead of the rights of women. It cannot be overstated how extreme this position is, and we must fight back against this heinous movement.
