Sheryl Sandberg Instagram – Two years ago, the Supreme Court struck down #RoeVWade. The Dobbs decision stripped women of the fundamental right to control their health and their futures. It made women in America less free today than half a century ago.
Since then, nearly two dozen states have banned or limited access to safe and legal abortion services. In 10 states, abortion is banned with no exceptions for rape or incest.
In our Post-Roe America, what was once unconscionable is now commonplace. In Oklahoma, a woman was told to wait in the hospital parking lot until she was “crashing,” before doctors would provide care. In Ohio, a 10-year-old girl was forced to cross state lines to access care after she was raped. In Arizona, a woman was forced to carry an unviable pregnancy to term. In Texas, a woman miscarried in the lobby restroom of an emergency room as front desk staff refused to check her in. No woman should be forced to go through this trauma.
The fight for abortion rights doesn’t end with the Dobbs decision. Now, more than ever, we must redouble our efforts to defend and expand access to care. That means voting for reproductive choice in November. | Posted on 24/Jun/2024 19:55:56
