Who?
There have always been a myriad of reasons why a woman would choose to terminate a pregnancy.
But there is now another glaringly obvious reason that might prompt an American woman to choose not to bring a child into the world - and that is because of the world that the GOP has created.
Who wants to raise a child in a country overrun with racists and bigots? Who wants to raise a child in a nation that elects the stupid and the downright insane to govern them?
Who wants to bring a child into a world where, even if they survive a school massacre by a crazed gunman, might not survive a world that climate change deniers will eventually render uninhabitable?
Who wants to give birth to a female child who comes into the world as a second-class citizen, with no rights over her own body?
Who wants to raise an American citizen who is subject to having their rights taken away by a SCOTUS comprised of religious whack-jobs and drunken sex offenders?
Who wants to bring a child into a country where a POTUS can attempt to overthrow the government - and is still free to try it again?
At the same time the GOP tries to make abortion illegal, they are demonstrating why it might be a preferable option to giving birth.

confide in me that they are pro-choice. Some have said it outright. Some I see quietly liking the posts of younger women speaking out. They have been women who have had careers and they know what it means to have this taken away. We need them to vote in midterms.
We had a recent school board election here (it was combined w/city council) - local races - and we only got about 5% of eligible voters to come out. Local elections are often dismal like that - TX has been gerrymandered to death & they do not make voting easy. But 5% is still a remarkably low number - so many folks out there choosing to not even try. 
I don't know how to fix that. Maybe some sort of PSA campaign in the media urging voting. IDK but open to ideas.
And well said
