"My own uterus no longer belongs to me. Nor does my vagina. Or my life."
To lose the right to an abortion is not only a loss of freedom; it is a loss of dignity. As if a hole has been carved from my personhood. From my citizenship. My own uterus no longer belongs to me. Nor does my vagina. Or my life. It’s hard to imagine a more profound violation.
To make this all the more poisonous—this freedom, this dignity, this equal citizenship—all have been ripped away by men who sexually assaulted women. Trump bragged about “grabbing pussies.” He then empowered a man who tried to rape a young girl. Now they violate all of us.
I will explicitly say “my vagina,” a phrase we rarely say publicly, as it sounds so intimate. I say it so that everyone knows: The govt will choose if my vagina must be probed. If it must be damaged. There is no part of my body—& thus no part of my life—that remains fully my own

Mida, I chose to have # of children, and when I wanted to become pregnant and would never tell another woman what to do with her body. VP Harris' question to kavanaugh struck me to the core and perhaps here is link to video clip.
To accept less than what is required of a man is demonstratively demeaning to women unequal under the eyes of justice--the equal protection act and women's reproductive rights go hand in hand..can't have one without the other! Not sure how to get there since "2 Dems" have issue with democratic platform...filibuster? Still the 2 Dems, quen sabes 
perhaps through Public opinion? Saturate the airways using social media programming bc that's how younger people ( voters) get their news eg TikTok, utube and not through ole cable/network channels like older folks [me, my 90 yr old parents] they get snippets of the news. Harris' query to kavanaugh and SC justices lying about not overturning set precedent would be a powerful message. Unfortunately, I'm not savvy enough with new technologies to make an impact, yet reaching the next generation of voters is imperative--we get it, do they? Do they understand that overturning Roe v Wade is about womens rights to make decisions about their bodies. [Note: translation - co me mierda: eat $hit#]

In the red states where abortion is now completely illegal, some doctors are afraid to treat women who are pregnant. Or women who are sexually active with a possibility of becoming pregnant. Why? Because if that woman should - for whatever reason - miscarry or lose her baby, the law will look upon that doctor as having acted suspiciously or illegally. Doctors who give their patients the means to cause a spontaneous miscarriage (in other words, an abortion pill) would be hauled off to jail.
But miscarriages happen under normal circumstances, where nobody acted intentionally. Doesn't matter, these doctors will be investigated and perhaps charged with providing an abortion.
The fear of litigation and losing one's license is causing doctors to think twice about providing care to pregnant or potentially pregnant women. Is this what SCOTUS wants? Maybe not, but they've caused it anyway.
