It’s finally happening. After making repeated right wing appointments to the Supreme Court the Religious Wrong has won a the ability to effect USA law. They officially have outlawed the abortion procedure done to abort a fetus after 12 week term.
As a male this obviously has no impact directly on my life but I assure you the same can not be said for the female sex amongst us.
I don’t promote people getting an abortion. I find it a very disturbing practice and one that would take tremendous thought before making the choice to actually choose to have an abortion. Medically however I see nothing wrong with abortion in order to save the mothers life. As of yesterday the procedure done to do so if the pregnancy is in the 12 week, has been outlawed regardless the health of the mother. A doctor who performs such procedure will be imprisoned for up to two years.
This is the first time any abortion restriction, and there are many, does not contain a health exception and the very first time Congress has seen fit to judge the legitimacy and necessity for any medical procedure.
So with the do nothing congress of the Bush era we did one thing for sure….. Pander to the Religious Zealots and allow such legislation to become law. This is most disturbing to me! We have allowed the nut cases to take over the asylum! Where is the common sense in this decision?
Women throughout the world should be taking total offense at this decision. And yet there was little to no coverage of this issue in the news which was overwhelmed by the massacre at VT.
Have women decided they no longer need to have these options? Have they decided that the Religious Zealots have the right to make that decision for them? Help me out here…. I don’t get it!
