For those who are relieved about Roe being overturned, I hope that you will push hard for safety net services, including childcare programs, affordable housing, healthcare/counseling/drug treatment, food for families, and general safety measures to protect kids who may be brought up in abusive homes.
Of course, such safety net services aren’t free and require tax revenue. And please don’t suggest that someone needs to pass a drug test or be an American citizen in order to qualify for them—because then it isn’t about the child or sanctity of life, is it?
We already pay enough tax. Take some of the waste, fraud, and abuse and use it to fund safety net programs...
Your assumption that pregnancy can always be prevented is nauseating. There are many women who have extremely irregular cycles. I was one of them. The only time I could expect to have sex without contraception and not risk getting pregnant? When I was actually having my period!
Also, do women really have the choice to use condoms?! How many men are ready and willing to use a condom? In my experience, men have begrudgingly agreed while whining about "taking a shower in a raincoat", etc.
And what about the women who can't take birth control pills, because the side effects just happen to be worse for them?
Make no mistake, this isn't about babies. It's about control over women, nothing else. Keep 'em in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant.
None of this has anything to do with the Supreme Court overturning a poorly conceived (pardon the pun) decision which had no basis in the Constitution, and returning the issue to the States, where it belongs.

In other words, the responsible people have to clean up after the irresponsible ones. Because the fact is, well over 90 percent of unwanted pregnancies are due to two irresponsible people having sex.
Well, this decision may energize the younger people into voting. It'll affect them the most and they are less religious than those who are trying to establish a theocracy in our country.
My children are 15 and 19. They and their friends are virulently pro-life.

Another thing: there will be networks of women (and men) helping women. It'll mostly be for the low income women who can't afford to travel hundreds of miles to a safe state but the networks will be there for them. Sort of like the underground railroad that we had back in the 1800s.
Are you really equating motherhood to slavery? How distasteful.
And for the millionth time…poor women will still have access to free birth control.

Bring the cost down from $40,000 to adopt and my wife and I will adopt a baby saved by this decision tomorrow. Happy to do it!!
Forced pregnancy seems like an extreme position to take. “States rights” usually end up oppressing a certain segment of the populace. Todays ruling will be no different.
