The rights of a State vs the nation


Roe vs Wade is no more in the USA.  States will be able to make decisions about abortion rather than having this view imposed on a nation wide basis.

First, this will harm women much more than men, and this will disproportionately affect those on low incomes who will find it harder to bring up a child.  Those who are richer will find it easier to travel to a state where abortion is legal and also have the funds to defend themselves if challenged in court about being accused of having an abortion.

Second, if the nation cannot make rules on abortion, what about matters like voting rights and equal marriage?  Women in same sex relationships in general will not be affected by this not counting women who cheat on a partner or who are raped.  I do wonder if the religious right will act on this later.

I am still of the view that those in favour of banning abortion are pro-birth rather than being pro-life. Maternity pay is optional in much of America and the support for mothers when it comes to childcare is poor as well.  And don’t get me started (again) on school shooting’s.
