The Supreme Court’s ruling is the culmination of decades of campaigning by a movement of conservatives and hardline Christians, who have sought to return women to a state of reproductive captivity ever since Roe vs Wade – the 1973 judgement which established that electing to terminate a pregnancy was covered by the Fourteenth Amendment’s right to privacy – was passed. Forget the parping about states rights, or how the US Constitution doesn’t explicitly make a reference to abortion (it doesn’t mention AR-15s either, but that doesn’t stop some constitutionalists claiming it's an enshrined right to purchase one). They will be the first ones to tell you that. They claim they "hate" the pro-life movement because according to them we only "regulate" abortion, while their goal is to abolish it completely through religious zealotry.A week ago, five individuals stripped 33 million women in America of the right to decide if, and when, to have a baby.
First of all this group, known as Abolish Human Abortion, is not pro-life. To a lot of people that seems like a contradictory concept, but it's actually pretty simple: We see two people, the woman and the unborn child, and we think both deserve support and protection.īecause I'm so outspoken about my beliefs, many fellow parents reached out to me this week for answers when a couple of old school anti-abortion activists showed up on the sidewalk outside of Richardson High School, graphic signs in tow. I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to helping other women whose shoes I'd been in, so I started a pro-life feminist group here in Dallas. So many of my friends were not that lucky.
I experienced one when I was just 16, and only because of the support of my family was I able to choose life for my son. However, I'm part of the new generation, and the movement I know is all about love, help and resources for women facing crisis pregnancies. See, the anti-abortion movement of the past was known for wielding bullhorns and huge gory images of aborted fetuses.
