Listening to Charlie and Ben talk about jettisoning Roe in such an intellectual, uncompassionate way was infuriating. Like it’s just politics. Rather than real life girls and women who will actually suffer and die. I get that men are never 17 yr olds facing an unwanted pregnancy; they are not mothers with no way to financially care for another child (most women getting abortions are already moms); they are not having to decide whether to raise a child w/o the father present; they are not learning from their dr in later stages of pregnancy that their baby has died or is suffering a life ending condition (the usual reason for medically necessary late term abortions); they are not victims of rape or incest; they are not being forced to die to let their fetus live. And on and on. This cruelty cannot be overstated. It is not something to giggle about. Republican women, Catholic women, Muslim women….well all women terminate pregnancies for a myriad of reasons that are not mystifying. And they are certainly not a joke. We are now in the land where the government will be forcing women to have babies against their will. And this extreme minority won’t stop until birth control and abortion is illegal across the entire country. No joke Charlie and Ben.
