Roe v Wade was not only for females to get abortions it was also for females to get descent care during pregnancy or a dangerous pregnancy. Doctors and nurses in a dangerous pregnancy will once again step back when the fetus is not viable or dies going back to yesteryear when many females died unnecessarily due to lack of proper care during pregnancy. The training for Doctors and nurses in a dangerous pregnancy will be almost non existent leaving the female to either die or not be able to ever have children. Now one Judge who is obviously religiously motivated and possibly getting dark money in his decision decided to take away a pill that was approved by the FDA twenty plus years which is safer than a female having a surgical abortion to once again take away a females right to choose and go back to yesteryear when many females died unnecessarily.

If the Supreme Court overrides the FDAs science-backed approval for a drug, any other decision the FDA makes could be subjected to similar processes. Can you imagine if they did that with insulin?
Yes, YES! I said the same thing immediately after the ruling came down. Most insulin sold today is genetically modified from the "real" insulin. A judge who believes all genetically modified, bio-similar medications are "bad", cause harm, and were not appropriately approved by the FDA could endanger the lives of tens of millions of people who are either type 1 diabetics or insulin-treated type 2 diabetics. Thank you, anti-choicers. We so appreciate how much you care about life.

As allies of both pro-choice people and LGBTQ people, we should clarify that a "person capable of becoming pregnant" refers to someone born with a uterus, and not to someone born as "a male" who undergoes gender-affirming surgery and then identifies as a woman. This only confuses the issue.
Yes, these new terms are confusing and degrading to natural born women! I’m not a transphobe but it’s getting moronic pandering to a minute percent of people while destroying the gains feminists have fought for for years!
@@thearmchairjournalist566 Not all women are born with a uterus. Again, if you take issue with simple wording and not millions of people losing rights to their body, you are part of the problem
@@thearmchairjournalist566 accept, they're not "new" terms? One of the best films ever made, Dog Day Afternoon, is a biological film about an individual who tried to rob a bank in *1972* in order to pay for his partner's male-to-female sex change surgery. New to you isn't "new."
The reality is, many illegal acts happen in bedrooms. In fact, some - spousal abuse, incest, statutory rape, and pedophilia, just to name a few - usually happen in bedrooms. Let’s also not forget that back when abortion was illegal, the public was at no greater risk of having their bedrooms invaded by the state than they are today.
The "pregnant people " thing always makes me cringe. As if there are men pushing infants out of their penises. It makes an otherwise deadly serious conversation veer off to clown town.
That's what you take issue with? You're more upset about wording (pregnant people is correct. Women are people) than you are with the erosion of rights and bodily autonomy. That says more about you than anything
It's almost upsetting that men _don't_ push newborns out of their penis. If that were the case, abortion wouldn't even be a "debate." If men had to push newborns out their penis, abortion would be as easily accessible as ice cream from an ice cream truck. There wouldn't even be a "debate."
not every person who can or does give birth is a woman. that’s why the broader term “people” is applied. it encompasses cis women, trans men, non-binary folks, and all others who happen to be able to give birth. it’s meant for inclusivity.
"people with the capacity for pregnancy"? As a woman, I kind of wince internally, when I hear this phrase, and I wonder if it's because it draws too fine a point? I no longer have the capacity for pregnancy. Does that make me less than these other woman that we are fighting for? Labels always lead to othering.
As someone else who cannot get pregnant (and, if truth be told, never could be pregnant), I do understand why you wince when you hear phrases like "people with the capacity for pregnancy". It makes me feel othered, too. Then again, people assuming all females can become pregnant also makes me feel excluded. I frequently listen to podcasts from Students for Life, and the president of the organization PROUDLY, LOUDLY screams at hecklers how she is a super hero BECAUSE she can menstruate, gestate, give birth, and lactate. I guess to her, I am nothing more than a failure at being a woman, since I could never do any of those things.
I'm sterile. Does that make me "less" of a man" _Who cares?_ I don't even want kids, so, to me, you're a dream girl, in that regard. Pregnancy or not is really irrelevant. Love yourself, regardless.
no. you had the potential to give birth. older women past menopause have no need for contraception and abortion. this isn't about WOMEN, it's about access to medical care.

Anthony Comstock: The Man Who Hated Sex (But Loved Censorship) Meet Anthony Comstock, the ultimate soul-sucking vampire of the 19th century. He was born in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1844, and as a devout Christian, he was appalled by the "decadence" he saw on the streets of New York City, where he worked as a salesman. You know, like that shocking epidemic of human beings enjoying themselves and maybe even having sex for reasons other than procreation. The horror! But don't worry, folks. Comstock was here to save the day with his signature mix of Puritanical fervor and utter lack of self-awareness. In 1873, he got Congress to pass a law that would make birth control a federal crime. Yes, you read that right. A crime! Because apparently, people enjoying sex responsibly was the biggest problem the country faced at the time. The Comstock Act went even further than just banning contraceptives. It also banned any information or literature related to contraception. That meant doctors and scientists couldn't conduct research or provide information about birth control without risking arrest and prosecution. Comstock had basically turned America into a giant, prudish bubble where nothing remotely related to sex could exist. It was like he wanted to put blinders on everyone so they couldn't see the "decadence" he so despised. Comstock wasn't content to just stop people from using birth control, though. Oh no, he had to go and become a special agent for the U.S. Postal Service to enforce the Comstock Law. His job was to confiscate anything he deemed "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" from the mail. You know, like letters between consenting adults who happened to use words like "love" and "desire." How obscene! It's not like people should be allowed to express their feelings or anything. And nothing screams freedom like the government going through your mail. It's no wonder that New England residents lived under the most restrictive laws in the country, with Connecticut being the most restrictive of all. The law was so absurd that married couples could be arrested for using birth control in the privacy of their own bedrooms and subjected to a one-year prison sentence. Because nothing says "protecting the sanctity of marriage" like throwing people in jail for wanting to plan their families. But don't worry, folks. The Comstock Act wasn't all bad. It also had a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, like immigrants, people of color, and low-income individuals, who were more likely to be targeted and prosecuted under the law. You know, because they weren't already dealing with enough challenges and discrimination. It's like Comstock wanted to make sure that everyone who wasn't a wealthy, white, Christian male suffered under his oppressive regime. His legacy is one of repression and censorship, but it is also a reminder that there will always be people who want to control other people's bodies and choices. We must fight back and protect our rights, no matter how hard they try to take them away. The Comstock Act was finally repealed in 1936, but the legacy of Comstock and his prudish, controlling ways lives on. It's like he left a dark cloud of censorship and repression over the country that took decades to lift.

Amy, I love you but it's pregnant Women, not PPL! Why does the professor say Black Women of Color and Ppl who are pregnant? Aren't we al Women? This is heartbreaking!
Transgendered men who have not undergone transition surgery and/or hormonal therapy can become pregnant. They are men in every other sense of the word, yet can become pregnant. Besides, aren't women people too?
not every person who can give birth is a woman! they say “people who can give birth” for inclusivity. because it includes cis women, trans men, non-binary people, and anyone else who can give birth. so it’s not only women. i, myself, can technically give birth, but i don’t consider myself a woman.
Imagine if American women were legally allowed to forego motherhood through abortion and adoption, without being legally responsible for child support; yet American men are unable to legally forgo fatherhood without permission from women and are forced to pay pay child support. Double standards and female privilege are fun kids. Hands off their bodies, Hands off our wallets
@@daisyadele967 Not true. For parental rights to be terminated, a judge must approve. This is not something you or another parent can do without involving the courts. You may file a petition asking the judge to terminate your child’s other parent’s rights. The other parent can file a petition to ask for your rights to be terminated. Social services, a licensed child placement agency, your child’s guardian, a guardian ad litem, or a potential adoptive parent can file a petition to terminate your parental rights. However, you cannot file a petition for the court to terminate your own rights.
Just because the FDA says its safe doesn't always means that because we saw the FDA approve devices that have caused harm. These need more reviews to ensure our health will not be compromised.
Why do you say that so many women are going crazy over the possibility of not having this pill??? Why should anyone be pregnant when they don't want to be at this day and age? In cases of incest (another mind boggler that this happens in 2023),could be kept in hospitals. But you act as if women are using this drug AS birth control. Are they?
Are you attempted to make a sound argument? If a majority of Asian women obtained abortions, _then_ no woman should have any autonomy over her own body? _Huh?_ How is race at all relevant to individual bodily rights?
Ban all pharmaceuticals. Let nature take place as nature intended. You get fat - die of blood pressure, heart attack or stroke - just die. Baby born with natural conditions - let them die. Child gets diabetes, asthma, infections - let them die. Why go to a hospital to give birth - get rid of hospitals, doctors and nurses. Police get shot, soldier get shot - they should have moved - let them die. Only the strong and smart should survive - the rest are a waste of resources.

Most popular way to have birth control. Never mind taking birth control pills, for example or demanding that the men use a condom. The question of courses is how long can you do this before it starts to affect your body or mind, they don’t know yet . Abortion was not a good idea because she plays on your mind the rest of your life you are a normal person. How do I know, because my wife told me this, a number of her friends who had abortions can’t get over it now as they mature into their 50s and 60s it haunts them.
Some may but some may need it for reasons beyond their control and in cases of assault they may not mourn it at all. Everyone has a different reason for the procedure and we shouldn’t think everyone is affected in the same way.
@@thearmchairjournalist566 I am in favor of the morning after pill. Promiscuous people, followed by drunk or drugged up women and stupid men need something like this. With respect to abortion, I think there is a genetic part of a persons make up that would allow them to kill another growing human being in their body. The number of reasons that some people give are, of course, rape and incest, and I can tell you based on the statistics it’s so minuscule that no one would ever even challenge it if it wasn’t for the loudmouth feminist. Remember that no matter what happens one of the victims is an unborn child. You can’t get away from that fact, and if you get an abortion, you’ve got to live with it. About 3% of the population of the United States gets 40% of the abortions.

You seem to have successfully amplified the hate and mud slinging; which seems to have been the goal. You might have waited for the actual ruling first - perhaps it will restore the situation as it was before the Texas ruling. If not you can start this chain then, after only a short delay. But I suppose that might cause you to miss your opportunity.
I'm pro abortion but I think we need to regulate it more. The fact is that the majority of abortions are not from rape victims or pregnancy's that threaten the life of the mother. Like I said I am pro abortion but I am against people abusing it. If you keep getting abortions and cant figure out how to stop the pregnancy from happening in the first place maybe you need to have your tubes tied.
But how does any of that effect any one but the woman having the abortions? The father? Get a divorce if your values are so different. The rapeist? Why? Our body our choice our repercussions. People need to mind their own bodies.
@@beeawesome2869 Currently the father has no choice but is required to pay child support. I think we should be looking into changing that law. I agree that it is up to the woman since they are the one carrying the child, to make better decisions because the way this is currently set up, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of abortions today are from women who repeatedly get pregnant due to their lack of taking precautions. Im pro abortion, but anti abusing abortion.
This is misinformation....No women abuses of abortion procedures. There is no statistic proving your point. Abortions are extremely PAINFUL, BLOODY and messy. What you are implying is a plain MISOGYNISTIC LIE...

Pharmaceutical companies should just stop selling their products in Texas, Florida, Oklahoma, Utah, Idaho, Missouri, Mississippi, Arkansas. These states feel they can stop any pharmaceuticals they don't approve of, so why should pharmaceuticals bother selling their products to them. No more cancer drugs, diabetes, anti-inflammatories, asthma. Just don't use any of them.

As allies of both pro-choice people and LGBTQ people, we should clarify that a "person capable of becoming pregnant" refers to someone born with a uterus, and not to someone born as "a male" who undergoes gender-affirming surgery and then identifies as a woman. This only confuses the issue.
Yes, these new terms are confusing and degrading to natural born women! I’m not a transphobe but it’s getting moronic pandering to a minute percent of people while destroying the gains feminists have fought for for years!
@@johnsmith7140 - Woman 👩 but it’s been hijacked!

The reality is, many illegal acts happen in bedrooms. In fact, some - spousal abuse, incest, statutory rape, and pedophilia, just to name a few - usually happen in bedrooms. Let’s also not forget that back when abortion was illegal, the public was at no greater risk of having their bedrooms invaded by the state than they are today.
Thank you to these women for being brave and dedicated to fighting for abortion access.
Abortion=baby death
What about all the other uses? Do those people have to suffer .
Jane Crow!? Really, let’s not compare this to Jim Crow.
Except the far right largely want to force pregnant women into involuntary slavery. It's at least _kind of_ similar.

Kudos for a clear, concise and considered representation of current legislation on this (abortion) issue. Thank you
The "pregnant people " thing always makes me cringe. As if there are men pushing infants out of their penises. It makes an otherwise deadly serious conversation veer off to clown town.
Apparently, to the loony left, biological men can get pregnant
That's what you take issue with? You're more upset about wording (pregnant people is correct. Women are people) than you are with the erosion of rights and bodily autonomy.
That says more about you than anything
It's almost upsetting that men _don't_ push newborns out of their penis. If that were the case, abortion wouldn't even be a "debate." If men had to push newborns out their penis, abortion would be as easily accessible as ice cream from an ice cream truck. There wouldn't even be a "debate."
not every person who can or does give birth is a woman. that’s why the broader term “people” is applied. it encompasses cis women, trans men, non-binary folks, and all others who happen to be able to give birth. it’s meant for inclusivity.
A rogue, grifting court.
"people with the capacity for pregnancy"? As a woman, I kind of wince internally, when I hear this phrase, and I wonder if it's because it draws too fine a point? I no longer have the capacity for pregnancy. Does that make me less than these other woman that we are fighting for? Labels always lead to othering.
As someone else who cannot get pregnant (and, if truth be told, never could be pregnant), I do understand why you wince when you hear phrases like "people with the capacity for pregnancy". It makes me feel othered, too. Then again, people assuming all females can become pregnant also makes me feel excluded. I frequently listen to podcasts from Students for Life, and the president of the organization PROUDLY, LOUDLY screams at hecklers how she is a super hero BECAUSE she can menstruate, gestate, give birth, and lactate. I guess to her, I am nothing more than a failure at being a woman, since I could never do any of those things.
If you don't have the capacity for pregnancy, then that sentence doesn't apply to you. So what's the issue?
@@nglchff How another woman chooses to define her own womanhood isn't a reflection on you. You are woman enough just as you are
I'm sterile. Does that make me "less" of a man" _Who cares?_
I don't even want kids, so, to me, you're a dream girl, in that regard. Pregnancy or not is really irrelevant. Love yourself, regardless.
no. you had the potential to give birth. older women past menopause have no need for contraception and abortion. this isn't about WOMEN, it's about access to medical care.
Abortion opposition is not about pro life. It is about money. Insurances
Thank you 🌎✊🗽🌹

Anthony Comstock: The Man Who Hated Sex (But Loved Censorship)
Meet Anthony Comstock, the ultimate soul-sucking vampire of the 19th century. He was born in New Canaan, Connecticut in 1844, and as a devout Christian, he was appalled by the "decadence" he saw on the streets of New York City, where he worked as a salesman. You know, like that shocking epidemic of human beings enjoying themselves and maybe even having sex for reasons other than procreation. The horror!
But don't worry, folks. Comstock was here to save the day with his signature mix of Puritanical fervor and utter lack of self-awareness. In 1873, he got Congress to pass a law that would make birth control a federal crime. Yes, you read that right. A crime! Because apparently, people enjoying sex responsibly was the biggest problem the country faced at the time.
The Comstock Act went even further than just banning contraceptives. It also banned any information or literature related to contraception. That meant doctors and scientists couldn't conduct research or provide information about birth control without risking arrest and prosecution. Comstock had basically turned America into a giant, prudish bubble where nothing remotely related to sex could exist. It was like he wanted to put blinders on everyone so they couldn't see the "decadence" he so despised.
Comstock wasn't content to just stop people from using birth control, though. Oh no, he had to go and become a special agent for the U.S. Postal Service to enforce the Comstock Law. His job was to confiscate anything he deemed "obscene, lewd, or lascivious" from the mail. You know, like letters between consenting adults who happened to use words like "love" and "desire." How obscene! It's not like people should be allowed to express their feelings or anything.
And nothing screams freedom like the government going through your mail. It's no wonder that New England residents lived under the most restrictive laws in the country, with Connecticut being the most restrictive of all. The law was so absurd that married couples could be arrested for using birth control in the privacy of their own bedrooms and subjected to a one-year prison sentence. Because nothing says "protecting the sanctity of marriage" like throwing people in jail for wanting to plan their families.
But don't worry, folks. The Comstock Act wasn't all bad. It also had a disproportionate impact on marginalized communities, like immigrants, people of color, and low-income individuals, who were more likely to be targeted and prosecuted under the law. You know, because they weren't already dealing with enough challenges and discrimination. It's like Comstock wanted to make sure that everyone who wasn't a wealthy, white, Christian male suffered under his oppressive regime.
His legacy is one of repression and censorship, but it is also a reminder that there will always be people who want to control other people's bodies and choices. We must fight back and protect our rights, no matter how hard they try to take them away. The Comstock Act was finally repealed in 1936, but the legacy of Comstock and his prudish, controlling ways lives on. It's like he left a dark cloud of censorship and repression over the country that took decades to lift.

Amy, I love you but it's pregnant Women, not PPL! Why does the professor say Black Women of Color and Ppl who are pregnant? Aren't we al Women? This is heartbreaking!
Transgendered men who have not undergone transition surgery and/or hormonal therapy can become pregnant. They are men in every other sense of the word, yet can become pregnant. Besides, aren't women people too?
Pregnant people includes everyone. Women are people. I have a uterus but I consider myself a person before I consider myself a woman.
not every person who can give birth is a woman! they say “people who can give birth” for inclusivity. because it includes cis women, trans men, non-binary people, and anyone else who can give birth. so it’s not only women. i, myself, can technically give birth, but i don’t consider myself a woman.

Imagine if American women were legally allowed to forego motherhood through abortion and adoption, without being legally responsible for child support; yet American men are unable to legally forgo fatherhood without permission from women and are forced to pay pay child support. Double standards and female privilege are fun kids. Hands off their bodies, Hands off our wallets
Men can sign over their rights.
@@daisyadele967 Not true.
For parental rights to be terminated, a judge must approve. This is not something you or another parent can do without involving the courts.
You may file a petition asking the judge to terminate your child’s other parent’s rights. The other parent can file a petition to ask for your rights to be terminated. Social services, a licensed child placement agency, your child’s guardian, a guardian ad litem, or a potential adoptive parent can file a petition to terminate your parental rights. However, you cannot file a petition for the court to terminate your own rights.
@@vajona2495 I guess this depends on the state. Some are more lenient then others
@@daisyadele967 There are no states in the US which allow for parental rights to be terminated by men.

It’s been FDA approved for 23 years. We know it doesn’t cause harm
Why do you say that so many women are going crazy over the possibility of not having this pill??? Why should anyone be pregnant when they don't want to be at this day and age? In cases of incest (another mind boggler that this happens in 2023),could be kept in hospitals. But you act as if women are using this drug AS birth control. Are they?
Women will have to go celibate. Sad :(
Yes all women should. Maybe men will care about our issues if they aren't getting any action
Already are celibate or turning gay you can’t get pregnant like that. Why do you think men are losing their minds over women. They aren’t getting any.

Ban the drug. Save the babies. Call it a day.
Ban all pharmaceuticals. Let nature take place as nature intended. You get fat - die of blood pressure, heart attack or stroke - just die. Baby born with natural conditions - let them die. Child gets diabetes, asthma, infections - let them die. Why go to a hospital to give birth - get rid of hospitals, doctors and nurses. Police get shot, soldier get shot - they should have moved - let them die. Only the strong and smart should survive - the rest are a waste of resources. Call it a day
Modern medicine, brought forward by scientists and engineers, mathematics, chemistry - no dumb religion crap and lies - helped humans thrive. The arrogance of radical Christian fascist fanatic - let them lie in the grave they are digging.

Not yours!

Are you going to take care of those babies once they are born,and even afterwards?!
Most popular way to have birth control. Never mind taking birth control pills, for example or demanding that the men use a condom.
The question of courses is how long can you do this before it starts to affect your body or mind, they don’t know yet . Abortion was not a good idea because she plays on your mind the rest of your life you are a normal person. How do I know, because my wife told me this, a number of her friends who had abortions can’t get over it now as they mature into their 50s and 60s it haunts them.
No your experience,only your opinion. Hogwash
Some may but some may need it for reasons beyond their control and in cases of assault they may not mourn it at all. Everyone has a different reason for the procedure and we shouldn’t think everyone is affected in the same way.
@@thearmchairjournalist566
I am in favor of the morning after pill. Promiscuous people, followed by drunk or drugged up women and stupid men need something like this.
With respect to abortion, I think there is a genetic part of a persons make up that would allow them to kill another growing human being in their body.
The number of reasons that some people give are, of course, rape and incest, and I can tell you based on the statistics it’s so minuscule that no one would ever even challenge it if it wasn’t for the loudmouth feminist. Remember that no matter what happens one of the victims is an unborn child.
You can’t get away from that fact, and if you get an abortion, you’ve got to live with it.
About 3% of the population of the United States gets 40% of the abortions.
That's untrue.
@@dianahill5116
I said a number of things in my comments starting out “Most popular way to have birth control “. You apparently are of the opinion that something is untrue and I’ve said a number of things so if you would, please define what portion of my comments were not true.
You seem to have successfully amplified the hate and mud slinging; which seems to have been the goal. You might have waited for the actual ruling first - perhaps it will restore the situation as it was before the Texas ruling. If not you can start this chain then, after only a short delay. But I suppose that might cause you to miss your opportunity.
I'm pro abortion but I think we need to regulate it more. The fact is that the majority of abortions are not from rape victims or pregnancy's that threaten the life of the mother. Like I said I am pro abortion but I am against people abusing it. If you keep getting abortions and cant figure out how to stop the pregnancy from happening in the first place maybe you need to have your tubes tied.
But how does any of that effect any one but the woman having the abortions? The father? Get a divorce if your values are so different. The rapeist? Why? Our body our choice our repercussions. People need to mind their own bodies.
@@beeawesome2869 Currently the father has no choice but is required to pay child support. I think we should be looking into changing that law.
I agree that it is up to the woman since they are the one carrying the child, to make better decisions because the way this is currently set up, I wouldn't be surprised if the majority of abortions today are from women who repeatedly get pregnant due to their lack of taking precautions. Im pro abortion, but anti abusing abortion.
This is misinformation....No women abuses of abortion procedures. There is no statistic proving your point.
Abortions are extremely PAINFUL, BLOODY and messy. What you are implying is a plain MISOGYNISTIC LIE...
Many take this drug for other reasons like for miscarriages which ends in 1/4 pregnancies. Since the 70's abortion rates have gone down. More people suffer from infertility now.
it's not your business to make choices for others. MYOB.
