Roe vs. Wade overturned

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

I’m disappointed, but not surprised by Roe vs. Wade being overturned. I feel this will have a negative effect on women with low incomes. 

I am not pro abortion, but I am pro choice. There is a difference. I hope that women will still have access to medication to terminate a pregnancy. I don’t believe that the majority of women who get abortions just casually use it as a form of birth control. That would be a very low number. 

Abortions have been happening long before Roe vs. Wade, and will continue to happen after. If anyone thinks that overturning Roe vs. Wade will stop abortions, they are naive. Desperate women will use coat hangers and back alley abortions. It will make things more dangerous. 

I think there should be people advocating women who are pregnant and don’t wish to keep their child to give the child up for adoption in lieu of getting an abortion. There are so many people who want to adopt, way more than there are children available. An ad campaign saying something like “Adoption, not abortion” would be something that I think would be really good.

My department works with all cases of reported rapes and sexual assaults that have been reported in the county where I live. Occasionally I have a patient that lives out of county, or out of State. Some of these victims are from the low income community and some are homeless.

There are several programs that will assist with pregnancy prevention, free of charge. All cases of reported rapes are provide Plan B or Ella, to avoid an unwanted pregnancy.

It is cheaper, easier, and healthier to prevent a pregnancy, than it is to have an abortion. The means are available to all that request them, and it will be done anonymously.

These services are available in almost all States.
