Hey Pandas, How Has The Overturn Of “Roe V Wade” Impacted You?

Several months have passed since the Supreme Courts decision to overturn Roe V Wade, dismantling 50 years of legal protection to access abortions.

How has this decision affected you? What are your concerns about what this decision means for our country and what could happen next? Personally, I'm outraged and fear that this overturn could lead to loss of more rights. So how does everyone else feel about it.

Well, it all happened in a foreign country whose culture is mostly a mystery to me, so I has little affect on me... But my outsider view is it's a major backwards step that seems archaic in the 21st century.....

It scares me. Not only because of not being able to have abortions, but also because if the Supreme Court can do this, what else will they take away in the future?

I feel the same. Especially after finding out one of the reasons behind the argument was that abortion wasn't mentioned in the constitution. It's a few centuries old...why would it?! That's a real convenient argument you could use for many things.

The Roe v Wade decision and it’s overturning both make me feel the same way:

That the fact it remains constitutional for our State Governments to forcibly, involuntarily STERILIZE ANY CITIZEN resident in one of its institutions, has been too long forgotten.

OVERTURN BUCK V BELL!!!!!

Yeah, that's pretty f**ked up! Anyone who's wondering, Buck v Bell is when the Court ruled that a state statute permitting compulsory sterilization of the unfit, including the intellectually disabled, "for the protection and health of the state" did not violate the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.

Well in my state I can’t have an abortion.It’s bs they women lose rights to something that is basically a parasite.Not to mention that the pregnancy could kill the woman,baby or both without an abortion

Got more involved in politics. Getting an IUD soon. More panic attacks and anxiety. More anger.

But mostly, sadness. I’m sick of these political games. I’m tired of politicians inserting themselves into personal medical care. And I don’t want to wake up in a country that gives me less rights than assault weapons.

So, if you can, take action. Knock doors, volunteer, donate, and please, please, VOTE!

I don’t want to wake up in a world and be afraid. Nobody does. Whether because of sex, color, religion, ability, or identity, we simply want to be human. So, we need to fight, and work together, to make a world where everyone is a person, and everyone belongs.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. Have a lovely day.

It doesn't affect me personally as I'm past child bearing age (menopause has been.... Interesting...).

But I fear for my child, who is in her 20s. She has already stated she doesn't want children; but it's only a matter of time before that decision is taken away from her, too

This is something I think about. I chose not to have children but have 2 nieces. Neither of them want children

I'm English so it doesn't effect me. But it does p**s me off on behalf of American women. If men had babies and had to give birth this wouldn't even be an issue because men would never stand for it.
It's another way to keep women down. Next they will be taking away the vote!

Fortunately I live in a progressive country where women’s rights are taken seriously. I feel really sorry for my American sisters. Such a backwards step.

It makes me realize that the USA may never be a place where everyone is equal. It's too easy to keep others down when the government is mostly made up of older, white, wealthy men.

As a Scandinavian, I am daily evermore grateful that my great grandparents decided to re-migrate away from USA and back home.
I live in a country with full social safety nets and personal freedom to do what I want, and I’m not even sure I would want to visit the country of my grannys birthplace, it sounds too dystopian for my taste these days
