Isn't Roe v Wade ALSO the right *from* abortion?

[ck4829]

"Texas law making it a crime to assist a woman to get an abortion violated her due process rights."

We've already seen the right wing pendulum swing in several ways:
* "Clinton is immoral and that makes him bad, Trump is immoral and we don't care about his immorality"
* "Every action Obama did was the action of a dictator but Trump could suspend elections and we would cheer him for it"
Maybe it's time to consider...
* "There is a sanctity of life... but not every life is sacred."

Knowing that the right wing believes in:
"White genocide", seeing liberals as an enemy, seeing itself in a "clash of civilizations" with Muslims, fear of whites becoming a minority, OK with "assignment surgery" for children not born in a gender binary to "correct" them into the binary, cheering on Trump as he talks about his "good genes", and more.

And knowing that our country already has a sordid history with eugenics and weeding out the so-called 'weak' and 'inferior', heck, our country still does it today with the "world's greatest healthcare system" that links one's money to the quality of healthcare they receive.

Let's just hope all the pro-lifers out there remember the same due process and the right to privacy that Roe v Wade recognizes isn't just about the right *to* abortion.

1. Much more than abortion is covered.

Think back to the days of forced sterilization. If someone thought you were not so smart, they didnt let you have children. That didn't mean anything was wrong with you at all.
Your rights are about much more than becoming a parent.

2. +1, there's also the idea of human experimentation too

Not treating syphilis against people's knowledge would have violated reproductive freedom (in addition to a host of other freedoms).

3. Exactly.

This is much more than the narrow scope the fundies look at.
