"RvW" was a 'Response' to the chaos of draconian state laws throughout the nation...and the compelling evidence of injury, death and mental anguish they were wreaking on women...especially those who were poor who were turning to 'Back Alley' abortions of self-administered use of Lysol as their only option.
This was real life in America before RvW...there is absolutely no reason to believe that twenty-first century America would be any different if the SCOTUS overturns it.
IMO, and that of the majority of Americans...Note: 80-85% of Americans believe that abortion should be legal in some circumstances (per Gallup polls taken almost yearly since 1975)...our goal should be to keep that option open, while redirecting our passion for reduced abortions to addressing the root causes...and reading the previously posted link attached here is a good start.
The complete and utter disregard for the women involved by supposed "Pro-Life" adherents is shameful...and moreover, the very "cohort" that starts the whole process to any 'Unwanted Pregnancy' that leads to abortion...i.e. Men...is totally ignored. It is not wrong to say that abortions would end immediately if the man involved thought "I'm only going to have sex if a) we want to conceive, or b) we agree to use contraception"...while this is imaginary, it nonetheless is true, and illustrates the need to ALWAYS involve men's participation in unwanted pregnancies.
This is a complex issue, always with two involved...Roe v Wade provided a platform to allow further efforts toward resolution...such as alluded to above...while providing immediate relief to the incredible stress being placed on women...let's learn from the past and not put ourselves back in the same situation that preceded it.
