Over the last year, I have slowly watched my freedom being ripped away from me. In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a law that protected my body and every other woman in the United States.
Putting bans on abortions won’t completely remove the practice, only makes them unsafe. Women will still search out ways to get an abortion but without access to safe operations, more women’s lives are put at risk.
When abortions are legal, more women will be able to choose for themselves. Taking the choice away, more children will be put up for adoption. While that seems like a great idea, what people don’t see is the broken system that is the foster system. Not all children find their happy home. Yes, there’s happy stories, but let’s be honest, some women are not ready for the financial struggle of children.

The overturn of Roe v. Wade is a change in the wrong direction, putting strains on women’s freedom. While many would believe that abortions promote a culture where anything and everything is disposable, abortion clinics are a safe place for women to have a procedure done that will help them in the long run.
