I am deeply concerned about our country.
No matter where you stand on this issue, I'm a professional life, but I don't support the ban on abortion. This ruling, as most of us know, represents a major change in American life.
It is dangerous to leave nothing and get rid of what many women knew only as a right for nearly 50 years. It's tough to criminalize medical procedures, unleash police and prosecutors, and bring together women, doctors, and Uber drivers. It is uncivilized and medieval to let women choose between prison and carrying a baby rapist.
You don't have to be an advocate of abortion to think that this is a sad decision, a sad day for women, and a difficult time for our country.

Bachio Chierica: Our feminist ancestors will be proud of this decision
These women, who were treated as property, knew that they could not treat their unborn children that way. Rather, they correctly understood that they were mothers and had all the responsibilities of being a mother when they first developed in the mother's womb, not when the child was born.
Thus, these courageous and pioneering women worked for a society that was kind to the vulnerable, their dependents, and their caregivers.

Leah Litman: Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization's Supreme Court ruling can take decades to reverse Dobbs
Will have serious and cross-generational consequences for Americans. It is alive. It is also the cornerstone of a decades-long campaign led by the Republicans to rule the Supreme Court. Democrats need to understand that reversing Dobbs can take an equally long time, and the work required to achieve that.
They have advanced the generation of lawyers to develop conferences, awards and lecture promises, qualify and advance the Republican vision for the United States. And they helped those lawyers get clerical jobs with judges and jobs in both state and federal governments-and more.
Dobbs represents the culmination of that campaign. Current and future generations of Democrats need to understand the kind of work that the Republicans have successfully hijacked the Supreme Court, and the kind of ruthlessness. And above all, the Democratic Party should focus on the court movement.
Democratic organizers and voters go to vote and call representatives of all open judiciary in judges who promise that Democrats will protect our democratic rights. You need to make sure that you are filling the vacancies. And democratic leaders need to foster and build networks to advance young progressive lawyers, rather than creating them themselves.

Ashley Allison: It didn't make sense in 1952, but it certainly doesn't make sense now
At the age of 14, I said " I wish I could talk about these walls. " Set in 1952, the movie's most tragic scene depicts a Demi Moore character trying to have an abortion with a knitting needle. Her attempt fails and she will try again later-eventually bleeding and dying. I remember thinking that it didn't make sense for a woman to be in such an unstable situation.
It didn't make sense in 1952, but it certainly doesn't make sense now. But let's make it clear that this is not a movie. Banning abortion in much of America is our new reality. Dobbs' decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade case and allow the state to restrict access to abortion in unison is an incomprehensible setback in our progress.
The Supreme Court's overkill and overthrow of case law reflect the world's patriarchal view of trying to control the female body. But let me say this loudly and clearly. We are in 2022, so we will never go back to 1952 or even 1992. It's my body and my choice.

Timothy Stanley: Religious Conservatives thank God and Trump
The Supreme Court's ruling is a religious conservative victory. They, along with former President Donald Trump, will thank God for this result.
Of course, many non-religious Americans are against abortion, but since the 1970s, anti-abortion campaigns have been the driving force behind American religious political activity, a unified theme, and the Republican Litmus test. .. candidate.
This is not the end of the battle. The decision does not automatically ban all abortions, but sends the problem back to the state. In the state, supporters agree or disagree, and citizens need to vote. conscience.I have been working and praying for this result for 10 years and are preparing for a thousand new battles.

Kate Manne: This is a new level of misogyny
There is no doubt that this is not about protecting the life of the fetus, but about misleading social controls for girls and women. After all, anti-abortion activists, like the Supreme Court's decision on Thursday at the New York Rifle&Pistol Association, improved maternal mortality, fight child hunger, and clean water for the community. Has shown little or no interest in securing rifles, protecting the lives of blacks, and regulating guns. , Inc. , Et al. v. Brune is painfully highlighted.
This misogyny, when implemented, will sacrifice the lives, health and freedoms of millions of people in this country. And it adds a harmful and false sense that women are morally obliged to abandon our bodies and even our lives in order to serve patriarchy.
LaraFreidenfelds: When Roe is gone, the woman dies
Abortion, miscarriage, premature birth are American women. Half a century of reproductive care (best care is too often restricted to the wealthiest and white women) due to Roe's flaws. But nevertheless, the safest and most abortion-restricting legislation to date has retreated significantly.
As a result, abortion was pushed underground. Medical knowledge has expanded, but pregnancy has remained unnecessarily dangerous. That is, until Roe regains the medical rights women have pursued for over 100 years.
Alice Stewart: Overthrowing Law is a victory for democracy in the United States
The Supreme Court is a breakthrough in prolife The movement that brought about a victorious victory-and a phenomenal victory for democracy in the United States.
The High Court's decision to overturn the Roe v. Wade case in the Dobbs vs. Jackson Women's Health Act is the culmination of many years of deep and emotional struggle for us in support of the Sanctity of Life. And now the controversial issue of abortion has been removed from the hands of nine unelected judges and handed over to elected state officials. Abortion policies are best determined at the state level, that is, at the level closest to the people.
With the advancement of science and technology, the human nature of the fetus cannot be denied. Today's advances in medicine allow doctors to know when a fetus forms an organ, how much blood is pumped from the heart, and so on. The more we learn, the more we realize that these fetuses deserve protection.
With the court withdrawing from the abortion business, it is time for democratically elected leaders to take up the cloak and protect those who have not yet been born. That's all about democracy.
