1/ #DemVoice1- Most Americans support a woman’s right to choose. But they also have a general moral discomfort with “late-term” abortions. Anti-abortion activists & legislators played on that moral unease & achieved broad support for the bill largely by focusing
2/their public campaigns on the vivid pictures & descriptions of “partial-birth” abortions performed late-term. However, in 2019, 75% of all U.S. abortion occurred prior to the 10th week & 93% (CDC) of abortions occur before 14 weeks’ gestation!
3/Only 18% of pregnancies end in abortion. From those, about 45% of the pregnancies happened because the used of birth control method failed (7% of birth control pills, patches & rings, 1% of IUDs).The highest unintended pregnancy was among women ages 18-24 years old, low-income,
4/Black & Hispanic women. The WSJ poll found 48% of U.S. adults somewhat support restricting abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, while 43% oppose it, with 75% of Republicans & 21% of Democrats backing 15-week bans.
5/There’s far more support for legal abortions in the cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. An unintended pregnancy or forced pregnancy is a risk factor for poor maternal mental health including perinatal depression, stress& lower levels of psychological
6/well-being & life satisfaction. It’s also risks to the fetus & infant of a woman over age 40 include spontaneous abortion, chromosomal defects, congenital malformations, fetal distress, toxemia, venous thrombosis, Down syndrome and more serious condition can be occurring.
7/Maternal mortality rates are several times higher in women over age 40 then younger woman.Before Roe thousands of women died annually from complications of unsafe,illegal abortion&because of extreme attacks on safe,legal abortion care,this could happen again right here in U.S.!
1/ #DemVoice1- The GOP’s Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is NOT a legal decision. It has nothing to do with law, especially not a 17th-century old law, it's 100% about the GOP imposing their religious beliefs upon us by law. It's religious AUTOCRACY.
2/The bigot mainstream GOP’s ideologies:Rape victims would be forced to give birth to the rapist’s child. Gay marriages would be annulled.Ban all federal funding for birth control&would not oppose any state that wanted to pass laws making birth control, abortion pill& IUD illegal
3/They will possibly criminalize the LGBTQ community, void & make it illegal gay marriages. Republicans are moving closer to utter control of every part of our lives based on these extreme beliefs, from banning books to banning school curricula on Black history (under guise of
1/ #DemVoice1- Choosing when and whom to marry is one of life’s most important decisions. Marriage is the one thing what is not fit for children, it’s a child abuse! RED states new laws on child marriage doesn’t even restrict or have an age limit that how old the bride can be.
2/However, this is an ongoing problem across the country! The ban on abortion without an exemption of rape & incest, will alarmingly increase that problem. Without the option of aborting the pregnancy the child will have only two options, either married with her rapist and
3/gave birth to the rapist’s child or gave birth to the child alone. Forcing a child into marriage is a violation of the rights of girls. Girls who are married as children are more likely to be out of school, suffer domestic violence, contract HIV/AIDS and die due to
