Advocates for reproductive freedom gathered on the 51st anniversary of Roe Versus Wade - the US Supreme Court ruling that protected a woman’s right to have an abortion - the ruling that was overturned in 2022. It left states to decide to ban abortions - or support them.

Pro-abortion advocates fear that re-electing Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers would ultimately lead to a national ban in all states.

“The number of patients traveling to Michigan because they can no longer access abortion in their home state has tripled,” said [Dr. Sarah] Wallett. [Lookin’ at you, Ohio! 👀 – rr]

[Says our Gov. Gretchen Whitmer,] “We’ve expanded rights with the Reproductive Health Act, but the fight is not over and that’s the point - we’ve got to continue to fight like hell.”

When will the Anti-Choice learn? It was never about being forced unwillingly to terminate a pregnancy, nor abortion as contraception. Does anyone in their right mind (you define that yourselves) think that a woman in that position at any time takes that decision lightly? We’re not talking about getting your ears pierced here! It was always about that if the situation should arise, regardless of how it arises, you have the choice to manage the situation as you see fit.

I’m done. Peace.
