Let them overturn Roe v. Wade
Edited on Tue Nov-01-05 03:00 PM by texastoast
Doctors are not the only ones who know how to end pregnancies. If you know what you are doing, you can go to any produce department and get what you need to end a pregnancy.

So are they going to outlaw VEGGIES? Or are they going to outlaw eating a certain amount of VEGGIES? Or they going to outlaw telling someone what VEGGIES to eat to end a pregnancy?

My point is, no matter what MORANIC LAW is passed, you can end a pregnancy safely. Women need to remember who was in charge of women before the American Medical Association came along. Each of us has the power to control our own bodies. No fear--just knowledge.

2. My mother told me
that my grandmother (her mother in law) told HER that in the early 1900's (my dad was born in 1914) that if your period was late, you went to the doctor and had a "menstrual correction." Translation: D&C or early abortion. She had four or five of them right in the doctor's office and never gave it another thought.

3. NO! They'll start tracking us. Went to the doc and came up preggers? Dumb
enough to buy a pregnancy test with a credit card? They'll sniff after us demanding accountability when the babies don't arrive 9 months later.

Girls and women will die in back alleys, at the foot of stairwells, from ODs, and in too hot tubs. Unless of course, they are rich.

6. Tinfoil alert?
Perhaps not now, but later it could get that Big Brothery.

My point is that no matter what they do, women MUST NOT allow Roe v. Wade being overturned cause us to throw up our hands and have babies we don't want/can't take care of. There are so many other avenues besides back alleys, etc. We must remember that, do our own research, and take responsibility.

Roe v. Wade is really just about keeping women "under control." And we all know, "Well behaved women rarely make history."

8. They will criminalize the research and dissemination of that information
you are talking about, though. Women will be going to jail for daring to own their own bodies. _That_ is why R v W is important.

5. Um, no thanks.
I like my rights to a medical abortion.

7. Hope you never need them
and find yourself in a spot like Rosa Parks, needing to break "the law." I mean that.
