PRO LIFE - THAT'S A LIE. THEY DON'T CARE IF WOMEN DIE!
Many of you may not remember or be too young to remember what it was like before Roe v. Wade. Women of means found a way to travel to places where abortion was legal. A small number of brave doctors risked their lives and livelihoods to secretly perform the procedure under sanitary conditions. However, the vast majority of women, finding they had an unplanned and/or unwanted pregnancy, sought back-alley providers or used dangerous methods to abort on their own. This is how the coat hanger became the symbol of illegal abortions.
The new Texas law is taking us back to the brink of that terrible time again. Please do yourself a favor and look at the documentary "When Abortion Was Illegal - Untold Stories" on Youtube. Director Dorothy Fadiman brings together first person stories to show why those who choose to take away abortion rights are dooming women to die. Abortions won't stop. They will just become deadly for many women who are desperate.
I hope looking at this documentary will inspire you to do everything you can to stand up and fight against any law that prevents women from making her own choice of when and if she will have children. This is a right no one should have the power to take away. "WE WON'T GO BACK!"
