(9,377 posts)Especially after Roe first was ruled on. They got rid of Roe and now are after contraception. I saw this coming. If they can get rid of Roe, they can block contraception too. People, especially women, are reacting rationally to the specter of being unable to have any say or control over their bodies, their futures, and their lives.
I don't think it's an overreaction at all. I did it when Roe was still here and contraception too. Of course, I knew I didn't want kids and was HORRIFIED that I'd be forced to have them and live a life I did not want - hearing the Talibengelicals even back then screaming about banning abortion and contraception. Now, they're succeeding as I knew they would in my lifetime (which is why I did what I did - snipped). People took these rights for granted and now are losing them. I saw it coming.
This is about people's lives and futures and their personal choices in regard to that. It's something each individual can and should have control over for themselves. Having that taken away is a huge issue and it's hard to "overreact" to the loss of those most basic rights. If affects your entire future.
