So, Alabama just passed a total ban on abortion. It’s debatable whether Alabama’s law or Georgia’s is worse. Alabama bans all abortions, but doesn’t punish women only providers. Georgia’s ban allows for abortion up to 6 weeks, but not only does it punish women for having illegal bans, it also punishes women for planning to leave the state to have a legal abortion and could potentially punish women with prison time for having a miscarriage.
Both of these are pretty horrifying. The Alabama ban scares me most because it seems likely to end with a Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade and a federal law banning all abortion in the entire country.
Am I being paranoid in thinking that this is just the beginning of something bigger? What comes next? What other rights will women lose? How far will this go? Am I crazy to be freaked out?
Nope. This is the removal of a fundamental right for half the population.
Women need to make themselves heard over the whining of the fucking MEN who are the majority of those behind these measures.
Smart women, those who can afford to, should be moving themselves out of these states ASAP.
This is a giant fucking leap backwards.
