Women's Voices in Politics and the Big Issue of Abortion Bans

Pretty disgusting to see uneducated pro lifers on this site.

As far as Roe V Wade, it is imperative that all women & women of child bearing age have every single right when it comes to their own bodies. While it does not affect me physically, it affects me morally. I will not vote for anyone who is against Pro choice.

It's surprising that our female concerns are decided primarily by men and politics. Deciding on an abortion is a painful and difficult decision no one wants to have to make. But it should be between a woman and her physician. Not between women and a politician. Also, I'm not surprised that 68% of women surveyed in March of 2023 reported that they felt their voices carry less weight. It's been this way for far too long and the farther right the politicians go, the less we are heard. I've come to realize that in just the last few years how it's getting worse instead of better, and I plan to vote accordingly.

ProLife here! Free birth control (condoms) are available thru Health Departments, even pregnancy tests, With the number of couples who can't have children want them. God doesn't make mistakes!! I do believe that women who do not want kids ever - should be able to get their tubes tied. My oldest daughter who is thirty-five now has tried but the doctors wouldn't do it. When you are married then you also I think have to have your husband's permission! I had to give permission for my husband to have a vasectomy.

this is not an important issue for me. i wouldn't base my vote on this.

It is heartbreaking to me to see how many women do not care about unborn babies. God help us!

Science is prolife. You have sex, there's always a chance of getting pregnant. That's science! Nature wants to create life. So, don't tell me I'm unscientific for wanting a baby that's created from the Science of Sex, to have life. That baby that's made doesn't get a say in whether or not it's born. One can choose not to raise it, just as one had the right NOT to have sex to create it in the first place. Having a child teaches one to be unselfish and giving. Getting rid of life in this way is simply selfish. This separates humans from animals that one can control our primal urges and not create life when one can't or doesn't want to take care of life that's created.

if guns can be legal and secret so can abortions - you want your 2a, give me and the women of this country our First Ammendment!

Every woman has a right to choose. I refuse to be judgemental.

I am pro life along with half the women in the country. Abortion is murder and many women have murdered their unborn children.

I'm also pro-life. A baby is not an organ, and abortions are not healthcare.

Pro-life voter here :)

I do not and have never planned to have a child. With that being said, since Roe was overturned, it has heavily affected me and influenced life decisions. I was born and raised in Texas but moved for college to a state that protects abortion luckily but doesn't offer a plethora of careers. I've been offered multiple jobs in Texas and have declined every one because of how Texas attacks me and other possible child bearers (and all other marginalized communities). It's also frustrating to hear uneducated, usually religious-based arguments about abortion that steer its legality. I'm sure the majority of people banning abortion (signing or creating these bills) don't believe in science, have never done any meaningful research into reproductive healthcare, and don't actually know and understand how abortion bans negatively affect everyone.

Govts should not be making laws preventing medical care. Abortions are not just for unwanted pregnancies, they're also for saving the lives of women in the case of complications or death of fetus. These laws even put women who have miscarriages (aka spontaneous abortion) in legal danger. Take away viagra.

I am not pro-abortion. Women today have many alternatives to getting pregnant in the first place.
