OPINION: Supreme Court abortion victory should be celebrated, but work is just beginning
NEWThe entire case of Jackson Women’s Health in the U.S. Supreme Court hinged on the argument that women need abortion to achieve their dreams, to have the careers they want, to get whatever it was they wanted to get out of life. The attorney arguing for the abortion clinic repeatedly made this point during questioning in her attempt to sway the Justices to believe women need to deny their fertility in order to succeed.
It brought me to tears that day, so much so that I went off script when it came time for me to speak in front of Court at the pro-life rally. I publicly apologized for telling women they needed abortion, for lying to them in a kind of false empowerment. Sometimes the weight of my time as director of the Planned Parenthood clinic in Texas is very, very heavy. But today is a victory, one that the entirety of the pro-life movement has been working toward for nearly five decades.
So much of the news in recent months has focused on polling that indicates the majority of Americans want Roe to stand. Yet, the majority of Americans have not worked in abortion clinics and have not seen firsthand the utter destruction that the physical act of abortion causes on the unborn baby and the mother, but the immediate aftermath of the decision on the woman.
