As of July 1, 2022, 16 states had banned or made significant moves to ban abortions. Of these, 5 had dusted off centuries-old abortion laws. The figures are changing too fast for me to present them. The internet can tell you better than I can.
The question of contraception has recently been raised. I’m wondering at what level the curbing of rights at proseutorial levels will come to a rest:
___various stages of pregnancy?
___out of state medical prescriptions or operations?
___no rape or incest exceptions
___no life of the mother exceptions
___no use of contraceptions including i.u.d.‘s
___prosecution for all miscarriages
___no hysterectomies or tubal ligations
___no vasectomies? Whoah! I wouldn’t bet on that. There’s a difference between making and baking?
I’m just waiting for them to come yank out my IUD! Oh the horror. Did you know that I could not get my birth control when I had to stay in the hospital? This was before I had my IUD. They told me I would have to have someone go to my house, pick up my meds and bring it in for me! I was not using it as a contraceptive, but to treat the very illness I was in the hospital for. You can imagine I lost my mind a little bit…but I’m just a hysterical woman.

There are a lot of wild rumors out there but the Supremes merely returned the power to the states and the people, women included. No need to panic.

I didn’t remove anybody’s comment, least of all yours. I just don’t know how this thing works very well. Tell me why you think I removed your comment??! And what was your comment. I think need a co-blogger or two.

No problem, Nan. I checked back to see if you/anyone responded but didn’t find my comment. I said something about SCOTUS returning power to the states and the people and that we should not panic 🙂

What are your thoughts now, as a number of states have responded?
