Excuse me ! It's still my decision isn't it ?

I try not to ever get political when it comes to my blog but.... Here is a topic that I have to vent. The year is 2019 and now we are going to have men decide what women can do with their bodies AGAIN. Alabama stated that they were going to reverse their law on abortion. That anyone that is found to have perform an abortion will be sentenced to 99 years in prison. So many emotions are going through my head that I want to scream! If I a woman or child who was sexually assaulted had gotten pregnant by her attacker that she would have to have the child because it wasn't the child's fault, they are saying that from the moment of conception the woman's rights stops, no matter how traumatic it is going to be for her, that her voice means nothing! Do you know what this means? Before Roe vs. Wade there were women who were impregnated and decided that they didn't want to have the child they went to someone who wasn't not medically licensed within the state, hadn't gone to school to have credentials behind their name, but used instruments to remove the fetus. Women bled to death, got infections and became sterile. Worse there will be those who are poor who will use measures to end it themselves the millennial have no idea about the wire hangers but there are older elders who share stories. Let's go to the other extreme a woman is going to give birth to a child and tests are performed by a licensed OB-GYN that advises her life is at risk, that the child will have complications , may be deformed, may have a medical condition that any adult wouldn't want to be in and the parents can't make the decision to terminate the pregnancy. I had to research the definition of what an abortion is because the terminology is being thrown around loosely to fit the agenda ? Abortion is the ending of a pregnancy by removal or expulsion of an embryo or fetus before it can survive outside the uterus. An abortion that occurs without intervention is known as a miscarriage or spontaneous abortion. As I am sitting here my minds is wondering is this really about abortions? Is this about regulating the woman's reproductive system? Other states are joining the discussion reversing a law went to the Supreme Court in 1973 that was to protect the woman's right is going to the courts again with old men deciding. This isn't about religion because there are plenty sitting in church pews now that had miscarriages induced and yes abortions. It's bad enough women don't make equal pay, research for diseases that are killing women don't get the funding they deserve, women have been raped and assaulted and it didn't come to the forefront until #metoo movement and now my sisters across the states voices are to be silenced they don't have a choice on what they can do with their bodies if they are pregnant under a specified amount of months? Sign petitions, protest, and let your voice be heard! Those that represents you in Congress and your state capital need to know women do have voices! Loud and Clear! Submitted by Author Patricia A.
