Roe v. Wade Overturned | What Does This Mean For Women.
Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court case that made abortion legal across the U.S., has been overturned by the newly appointed conservative-majority Supreme Court.
Abortion is no longer protected at the federal level as of June 24, and instead will be decided on a state-by-state basis.
This means that women may not have access to safe and legal abortions, depending on the laws passed by their state government.
It is a dark day for women’s rights, and we can only hope that this decision will be overturned in the future.
Roe v Wade has been a controversial topic for many years now, with both sides passionate about their beliefs. The overturning of this decision will likely lead to more protests and rallies from both pro-choice and pro-life advocates.
The Consequences Of Illegal And Unsafe Abortions
This decision could have major consequences for women across the United States, as they may no longer have access to safe and legal abortions.
Women have been performing abortions for centuries, often at great risk to their own health and safety. Illegal abortions are usually performed without the benefit of medical supervision, and it can often lead to complications such as infection, hemorrhage, and even death.
In addition, illegal abortions are often associated with shame and stigma, which can make it difficult for women to seek medical help if they experience complications.
Illegal and unsafe abortions also have a negative impact on society as a whole. They lead to an increase in crime rates, as well as a rise in the number of single mothers who are unable to care for their children.
The availability of safe and legal abortion services is critical to ensuring that women can make decisions about their reproductive health without jeopardizing their safety or well-being.
States Can’t Ban FDA-Approved Abortion Pills
States cannot ban abortion pills that have been approved by the FDA. This was made abundantly clear in a recent court case, in which a judge struck down an Arkansas law that would have made it illegal to prescribe or dispense abortion pills.
The judge ruled that the law violates the constitutional right to Abortion access, and he emphasized that States cannot restrict access to FDA-approved drugs.
This ruling affirms what many abortion rights advocates have been saying all along: States cannot Ban abortion pills. If they do, they are violating the Constitution and putting women’s lives at risk.
The FDA has approved two types of abortion pills: mifepristone and misoprostol. Mifepristone is used to terminate a pregnancy up to 10 weeks after the last menstrual period, and misoprostol is used to terminate a pregnancy up to 24 weeks after the last menstrual period.
States cannot outlaw either of these pills, as they are both FDA-approved. Additionally, states cannot ban abortion providers from prescribing these pills to patients.
Biden Condemns Supreme Court Ruling On Roe v. Wade
President Joe Biden has condemned the Supreme Court’s ruling on Roe v. Wade, calling it “a dark day for women’s rights.”
“This is a fundamental assault on reproductive rights,” Biden said in a statement. ” Roe v. Wade has been the law of the land for 45 years, and it has protected the right of a woman to make her own health decisions.
“Today’s ruling is a direct attack on Roe v. Wade and on the reproductive rights of women across America,” he continued. “It is an assault on everything Roe stands for.”
Biden called on Congress to take “immediate action” to protect Roe v. Wade and women’s reproductive rights, saying that “we cannot allow this ruling to stand.”
“We must fight this decision with everything we have,” he said. “Women’s rights are human rights, and we will not go back.”
A Step Backward For America.
Roe v Wade guaranteed a woman’s right to choose what to do with her body and now that is being taken away.
This will disproportionately affect low-income women and women of color who already have a hard time accessing quality healthcare, let alone abortions.
It’s hard to say what the future holds, but one thing is for sure: Roe v Wade will continue to be a major topic of debate in America for years to come.
We must all stand together to fight for these rights and ensure that every woman has access to the best possible healthcare.
