Abortion Ban Means 'Second Class Citizenship' for Women
(CNSNews.com) - If Roe v. Wade were overturned, as many as 30 states would be poised to criminalize abortion within a year, said a group that wants to keep abortion legal. "What many Americans don't realize is that the legal building blocks to overturn Roe are already in place in many states or are being quickly erected," said the Center for Reproductive Rights. The group has conducted a study (and published a book) on what would happen if the 1973 Supreme Court abortion ruling is reversed. "Without Roe v. Wade, life for American women would be thrown more than 30 years in reverse -- returning them to the days of second-class citizenship," the Center said in a news release. "When a woman cannot decide for herself when and whether she will have children, her opportunities to shape her future and care for her family are drastically reduced. Americans need to know the facts behind the politics of reversing Roe." The Center, through its website, is selling a $15, 132-page book that describes the state-by-state consequences of overturning Roe v. Wade.

This one gags me:
When a woman cannot decide for herself when and whether she will have children
Abortion isn't about deciding whether or when to have children. It's pondering a particular child and deciding that you'd rather have it dead.
And I'm getting thoroughly disgusted with the moral imbeciles who refuse to grasp this.
And as for women being "second class citizens" if they can't kill their children, not all of us think that having functioning reproductive organs makes us inferior to men. We don't think that we need surgery to make us equal.
