Riding the train this afternoon, I saw a woman across the aisleā¦.or rather I saw a jacket with legs. Some hair. And a little hand at a laptop. Then her face poked out.
So I drew her. The train was very jiggly, but I managed!
Today is the anniversary of the landmark ruling Roe v Wade. Trump took away that right to an abortion in many states. The Biden/Harris administration is currently putting this issue front and center in their campaign, beginning with this ad below. It features Dr. Austin Dennard, the OB-GYN who was forced to flee her home state of Texas to get an abortion that saved her life.
Most Americans are in favor of womenās right to choose. I wonder if this tactic will stir up enough voters to go to the poll and vote for Biden. It wonāt change the hard-core Trumpers, of course. Biden, Harris and many surrogates are conducting a āfrenzyā of events around the protection of a womanās right to an abortion, also arguing that these is the kind of personal freedoms that a Trump administration would take away from us. This is as good a place as any to start screaming to the rafters about how serious this election is.
They are saying that abortion is about freedom. It is. Trump will take such freedoms away from us, heās planning on it.
I am 82 so it was a LONG time ago when I first heard tha t expression, "a woman's right to choose" and said this is awful. I knew this would lead to issues. The MS magazine crowd were bossy Jews who didn't understand that most American women lived to produce babies and help their husbands. This expression makes women seem selfish when, in fact. they are helping save babies from been unwanted. Rural Christian white women hate urban jewish females. That's a fact.
I donāt think so! I am also of āadvanced ageā ( good grief!!) and remember when a womanās right to choose was first used. So many women in so many different situations have always chosen to abort and will continue to do so. We have always just wanted the choice to be safe. It is never a flippant choice and most often a very difficult decision!! But it is a decision /choice that a woman must be safe to make. We are living in a time of misogyny that is very bad!!!
