Women's Rights & Issues

It has to be traumatizing to a 10-year-old who is pregnant with a rapist’s child who is told she must sacrifice her education and perhaps her future health to bear that child. It has to be terrifying for a woman whose pregnancy threatens her life but she’s forced to risk death if she has no money to travel to another state. Who will take care of her children if she dies? The toxic masculinity being pushed by Republicans means more abuse of women, especially reproductive abuse. The SC is fine with all these outcomes because their God demands that women be subjugated and punished for the sins of Eve.

There are many reasons to expand the SC and mitigate their worst decisions, but this is one of the most important. They have denied women’s rights to their own health and safety.
