The recent Roe decision has taken bodily autonomy away from thousands of women in America. They are justifiably angry and protesting all over the country. At least ten states have effectively banned abortion since the ruling. 26 states have laws indicating they could outlaw or set extreme limits on abortions, according to the Guttmacher Institute, a research organization that supports abortion rights.
Abortion rights supporter Joseph Little held a sign saying, “Forced birth is enslavement.” “Making people give birth is enslavement, when you tell people that they no longer have a voice in their own personal matters, that’s enslavement. It’s oppression. And the Bible clearly says that we need to correct oppression.” It’s not only enslavement but also unconstitutional. The first amendment clearly says that Americans have freedom of religion.
The demonstrations for and against the ruling have been largely peaceful, but a few arrests have been reported. In New York, at least 20 people were taken into custody with charges pending, police said. In Greenville, South Carolina, at least six people were arrested at a rally Saturday. The rally included people protesting and supporting the Supreme Court ruling. In Washington, DC, two people were arrested Saturday after they were accused of “throwing paint over the fence by the US Supreme Court,” US Capitol Police tweeted. Many others were also arrested. Legal battles have also started about the Roe ruling. The Satanic Temple, Planned Parenthood, and many other organizations have filed lawsuits, and officials expect more legal battles.
