The Assault on Womens Sexual and Reproductive Rights

[Kätzchen]

Note to Cin:

To 'steer' the conversation back to your post about Catholic hospitals not being challenged for their pious bedside directives, I agree that the medical empire community needs to take up that issue and develop policy to take back their profession of medical care credo.... to help all who need medical intervention, and not just serve people with tenets of religiosity.

Biased medical care is life threatening, just as unchecked bias (prejudicial treatment) is, and can be, in any profession or social station in society.

Although the law, even if passed, would be illegal due to Roe V. Wade, it may go the way to the SCOTUS, essentially giving the high Court an opportunity to reverse Roe.

If Hillary wins the election, that's a non-issue.

If Trump wins the election, it is safe to say that it would be cause for concern.

Another personhood issue. SMH

If Trump is elected, please lord no, he will appoint a majority of conservatives and women's rights/abortion rights (and equal marriage), are gone.

The clock will be turned back.

By far the most demoralizing fact in the light of all this war, is the number of passive young women, unaware, uninterested and not willing to lift a finger in an effort to uphold the slightest level of rights stolen by the generations before them.

I called these rights "stolen", as they might have been gently borrowed by a generation or two, who cared enough to rally around these issues. Women's reproductive rights in America were not g-d given legislative charity, nor were they ever fully and completely "won". What has been won cannot be taken away without another war, without the counter-acttack. The struggle is real, the battle continues every day, every little bit we do not hold on to tightly may just slip away rapidly and for good.

Call me nuts but I feel personally responsible to carry on the torch. I feel compelled to do everything in my power to uphold the existing rights and fight for further amelioration. Social justice is in my blood, I owe it to my mother and my grandmothers. For this reason I do not understand carless young women of today who are so eager to simply lay down and let the sprit of this new war transport them back a century without knowledge, tools or means of hope.
