Since the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v Wade decision, which gives women nationwide the right to access abortion procedures, anti-abortion advocates have worked to chip away at the monumental court ruling.
Republican lawmakers across states have worked at a rapid pace in 2021 to introduce and pass some of the most restrictive abortion laws, all an effort to limit access.
These lawmakers have introduced bills that would enforce 561 abortion restrictions, including 165 abortion bans across 47 states, as of 7 June, according to the Guttmacher Institute – an abortion-rights research organisation. More than 80 of these restrictions have been enacted in 16 states, including 10 bans.

It is my firm religious belief that abortion is wrong. That is my religious belief. I don’t want my government making laws based on my religious beliefs. I want my government to stay out of my church and my church to stay out of my government.

I do not support abortion as a method of birth control. I would rather see them take steps BEFORE conception (sex education, condoms, IUD, spermicides, birth control meds, all the above, etc). I realize sometimes unwanted pregnancy occurs no matter what precaution a person takes (abstinence really isn't a feasible option). And prevention is just as much a man's responsibility (maybe moreso) than a woman's. As a medical provider myself, I can not justify knowingly ending what should progress into a viable life.
Now, that being said.... I would rather see a woman have unrestricted access to proper medical care at a licensed, inspected, and monitored (for safety, sterilization, etc) facility with properly trained and licensed providers than having to resort to some back alley hack job with a rusty coat hanger somewhere. Pandora's Box has already been opened and we would do well to leave things alone.
