I was 22 when the Roe decision was handed down, and I remember quite clearly what a BFD it was. I had flown from Illinois to New York to have a legal abortion only 4 months previously, and I was very happy to know that women weren't going to have to do that sort of thing anymore, even though it was a little too late for me.
I eventually had a daughter and was able to raise her secure in the knowledge that abortion would (presumably) be readily available if she ever needed one. The idea of going back enrages me! She's 37 now, and we both live in a state that is firmly in the "keep abortion safe and legal" camp, but I no longer have any illusions that this is something any of us can take for granted.
The idea that the Repukes would think women like me, who grew up pre-Roe and then spent 50 years in a country where abortion was legal, would uncomplainingly accept anything less for our daughters, granddaughters, nieces, grandnieces, and all the younger wonen who are not related to us, is ludicrous and stupid. But then, Repukes are stupid, so what can I say?
