For years, women across the country have been warning about the end of abortion, and what it would mean for everyday women. With each new step this country took away from reproductive freedom — the election of President Trump; the confirmation of Justices Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett to the Supreme Court; the upholding of Texas’ clearly unconstitutional SB8 — the threats got more dire and urgent. So some of us chanted, we marched, we protested. We got loud.
Then, last week a leaked draft opinion from Justice Samuel Alito revealed that the Supreme Court is planning to overrule Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey – effectively overturning the federal right to an abortion.
Here’s the problem: What’s about to happen in this country isn’t just an assault on the vocal minority of women who’ve been taking to the streets, to state capitals, to the Capitol to demand that our voices are heard, that our rights aren’t trampled on, that our bodies stay ours.
It’s an assault on the silent majority of this country, too. On the women — and men — who haven’t chanted, marched, or protested. Who haven’t taken to the streets or shown up to halls of power. Who still, nonetheless, want abortion to be safe, accessible, and legal.
It’s a whopping 80% of all Americans, a supermajority. Some of us identify as pro-choice; others don’t. Some of us are Democrats; some are Republicans; and others still are apolitical. Some of us get lifesaving health care from Planned Parenthood; others have protested outside its doors. Some of us believe abortion is fundamental, an extension of our right to privacy and bodily autonomy.

Lmao!! “I keep FoxNews, but only so I can “ watch Tucker”!
You haven’t been following the news in that case, since the new laws passed ban all abortion, even in cases of rape, incest, or the life of the mother.
“Lfe saving Healthcare from Planned Parenthood” ??? Lol....I quit reading there.
You’re right, men need to stop being sluts.
I’ve always had reproductive freedom.
The pressure was exponentially greater since birth control and abortion became culturally acceptable.
I watched the world of my older siblings, friends siblings turn from a sock hop and Saturday evening date works to a hook up world where all the other girls said yes.
Saw the devastation of girls getting dumped after acting married. To the destruction of abortion that they talked to very few people about- to this day if they survived it. I’ve seen the life long depression and insanity. Living in another world some of these women. It was always a horrible tragedy
The men have no voice but they are devastated…and complicit.
People kid themselves about the facts. I predict a low turnout for any pro choice activity
Some women who have had abortions will be triggered. The men will be silent as usual.
Shame on Fox News
Oh, I was not aware that such total bans had become very common. Good to know.
This article shows just how out of touch the left truly is.
<< For years, women across the country have been warning about the end of abortion >>
If RvW is overturned and hence the abortion issue were kicked back to the states for the People to vote on, abortions nationwide would likely decrease anywhere between 10-20%, according to most estimates. Far from the “end of abortion” they’d have us all believe. But many (and perhaps most) leftists do believe it, thanks to close to 50 years of successful brainwashing.
Shameful this is coming from Fox News
Rachel is a liar.
Please name the laws and post links.
By the way, the chick that wrote this screed is a liar. There is no way you can get to an 80% pro choice figure without making the prolife position an absurd caricature of itself.
The only way the baby killers can keep our laws as extreme as they are is by being as dishonest as possible. The rest of the world has far more restrictive abortion laws than we do.
Got to love “conservative” Faux News
I didn’t know it was the end of abortion?
Will our economy collapse as a result?
Will it usher in global warming,too?
This is what the “low information voter” believes. They read the headline and refuse to drill down on the details. The idiots brought this ruling on themselves by pushing the limits with late term and after birth abortions. Irresponsible as usual.
Rachel is not arguing the law,
the decision outlined in the leaked pages.
the societal results of a court overstepping its role,
nor the correction to the role of states.
Rachel is simply giving her opinion on abortion, and bashing anyone that disagrees.
Like a cliche.
Sad Rachel, just plain sad.
More like the health of PP.
Hyperbole Much?
BTW Who else should be arrested and hanged? Is there a list somewhere? So I can find out Who I’m supposed to hate.
“You’re right, men need to stop being sluts.”
Men are not going to behave like ladies. They CAN act like gentlemen but that does not entail telling a date to stop being aggressive
Women have enormous power over culture. They don’t accept the responsibility
