I’m furious. First off, I’d like to point out how ridiculous it is to let such an important draft be leaked. It’s irresponsible. Government officials have no right to be upset about the backlash from the public.

Preventing abortion is a pipeline to more poverty. With the baby formula shortage, prices will most likely go up. I believe the government wants to make things harder for women, but won’t dare to do the same for men. I haven’t heard any conversation about vasectomies. Im nervous for my future and for others. There are so many women who were raped or don’t have the health conditions to carry a baby. What will they do? A women Ohio lawmaker recently said it’s unfortunate for women who have to suffer the scars of being raped, but the scars wont go away regardless. When I heard that, I realized some women in politics aren’t on our side either. Yes, the scars wont go away, they will only get worse. That baby can be a constant reminder, not to mention she has to deal will the mental trauma of the assault and the mental stress of pregnancy all at once.

I believe government officials avoid the conversation of how the women is impacted because they don’t care and they know there is a lot of trauma when women have babies against there will. Whenever I see people being rude or protesting in front of abortion clinics, it screams hypocrisy and irony. You call us inhumane and bad people but cant even treat humans with decency yourself. Since there’s so much conversation about banning abortion, I want to see solutions on what will happen when these children end up in poor households, shelters, or foster care. What will this country do with them now that they’re here?
