In other news, aside from the impending shooting war, GOP is asking SCOTUS to revisit Roe v. Wade for “clarity”.
When/if they get it overturned I hope that our friends on the Right that control the legislature and executive branches, locally and nationally:
1. They put lots of money into medically & scientifically accurate sex-ed: curriculum, training, qualified teachers, etc.
2. Provide free contraception
3. Provide day care so single mothers have an easier time completing school or entering the workforce
4. Provide adequate support to SNAP; we are talking about feeding CHILDREN that didn’t have a choice in the matter
5. Form a line and sign up to adopt all of the unplanned children given the opportunity for another loving home
Hell, if you want to reduce the abortion rate, and we all would, just do #1 & 2 RIGHT NOW. That’s proven to work.
In a reasonable society that really cares about life, the economy, children, etc. we should do ALL of these regardless of whether Roe stands or not. It’s the correct thing to do.
I hope that I’m pleasantly surprised but I doubt they will sign up for any of my suggestions. Did I miss any?
(Let me be 1,000% clear, I fully support autonomy for women to make their own medical decisions. I don’t want to be involved other than to support ensuing that everyone has the right to make decisions concerning their own body)
