This week’s Feedback Friday topic is:
Abortion Rights
With the leak of the Supreme Court’s draft opinion on abortion rights and the possibility of overturning the historic Roe v. Wade decision, there is both concern and rejoice over the implication, depending on your beliefs. Many states have trigger laws in place that would ban abortion altogether if Roe v. Wade is, indeed, overturned. Still, many other states, such as Maryland, protect the reproductive rights of women.
Is this an issue of life and death? On the surface level, certainly. But in thinking a little deeper about this subject, one could infer that restricting reproductive rights and access to healthcare further ensures that working-class, poverty-stricken, and underserved populations of our country remain status-quo. That is, keep the poor poor. Do you really think the impregnated daughter or mistress of a state senator in Texas wouldn’t get an abortion? The elite will always have access.
Think about it. Conspiracy? An ounce of truth? A gray area altogether?
What do you think about reproductive rights, this week’s Supreme Court leak, and the inference made herein?
Please share your thoughts by filling out this form. Today’s responses—and all future Feedback Friday responses—will be published in our Monday newsletters after the weekend. AND, several responses from recent topics will appear in our upcoming print magazines!
