I attended West Mt. Airy Neighbors Women's Forum and learned how serious the Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v Jackson is towards healthcare for women in our country. Good news is abortion is legal in Pennsylvania with previsions. Horrifing news is the criminalization of women, doctors and healthcare workers who look to support women seeking an abortion.
Sad reality in our society of abuse of power is taking place with after hour do what you want to the laws meetings that should be totally illegal. We need amendments to our state and local constitutions protecting women's healthcare. Councilwoman Cindy Bass reflected on her high school days and how the girls who got pregnant and weren't ready to be parents, had to keep the pregnancy because they couldn't afford an abortion. She made the suggestion that abortions should be free. Councilwoman Bass also shared how she attended a church in her district, the weekend of the Supreme Court ruling and was upset by the sermon advocating the ProLife platform. With her comments she was able to highlight concerns for the Afro American community. Infant mortality rates, babies having babies and deeply rooted self righteousness to control others needs to stop.
We as a society have that power to end these phobic attacks and protect all women's rights. We need more men to step up and be part of the conversation to help change attitudes towards women. i don't want to do what men do, i want to make a way for us women to be women to support each other and build space for us to be women!! What's your view of women? We need to have these conversations in our homes, and various communities.
You can help protect women's healthcare by talking to as many people as possible about this concern. Please share this information widely!!
