Wade/Roe decision, will you be joining the 'Red' protest ?

[gonnascreamsoon]

Lots on SM about showing solidarity with all women who have had their right to end a pregnancy, for any reason, taken away. Many countries planning to 'Buy nothing, do nothing' and turn all SM 'red' for 3 days etc

I honestly think that if all women round the world actually did this,( i.e no housework/shopping/cooking/laundry/work/childcare etc), then the shock to the governments could really be profound ?

What if all women decided that we'd no longer be willing to accept any male decisions ? e.g abiding by a 'do not resuscitate' order decision made by a man ?

Interested to hear others point of view on this.

And in Ohio it might as well be as outlawed after 6weeks

no exceptions for this 10yo victim of rape. Their governor basically used the term “two wrongs don’t make a right” 🤮

I don’t think the citizens of any country would welcome another country protesting to them about an issue where it isn’t even properly sorted in that first country.

what we need to do it protest our own governments to make sure all abortion laws across the Uk are equal, fit for todays society, and firm enough to withstand inevitable future tampering

No, I will not be participating in any form of protest.

The United States is a foreign country. Abortion rights there are an issue for Americans to resolve via their own democratic processes and these have no relevance to laws in the U.K., just as British public/ media opinion is irrelevant in America.

Abortion has not been banned in America, nor is it likely to be. What is going to happen is that states will now be free to set their own laws on abortion, as decided by their own democratically elected politicians. Many of the biggest and most important states, eg California, New York, Florida, Illinois, Oregon, Washington, Massachusetts etc etc have no intention of restricting access to abortion.

Their county, their democracy, their laws, their political culture, their jurisdiction.
