I support bodily autonomy. Female choice is a major front in that battle - and I’m firmly pro-choice.I mean that it's personal and if you've never had to make that decision you can't know how truly weighty it is.
Also, when you legislate abortion you are also legislating healthcare. It's not just a slogan, it's a fact. When doctors cannot perform medically needed abortions they don't practice in that state. They go somewhere else where they can actually treat patients without fear of being criminally charged. There are five women suing Texas because they almost died because their doctor couldn't give them the medical care they needed. Now there are fewer practicing gynecologists in your state which affects all pregnant women. And let's say you are unlucky enough to be pregnant and live in a state where the laws are becoming increasingly draconian and they criminalize abortions. You miscarry (which happens more often that many people realize) but you're afraid to seek medical care because they'll charge you with murder because the doctors are required to report you.
This is really happening in this country in 2023 and it is putting women's lives at risk.
Women want and need authority over their own bodies. Full stop. Your opinion, my opinion or the law should not inhibit her rights.
And it scares the hell out of me to think that my two year old great granddaughter, who I absolutely adore, may come of age without a right that every woman deserves to have. A right that every man has. Autonomy over her own body.
Do you support bodily autonomy for all?
