Stop the Texas Abortion Ban; Support Zuwarski's and 4 other women's lawsuit
More and more women's health is at serious risk and great danger if the Texas ban on abortions continues. The fact that Zurawski was forced to wait to end a pregnancy and thus experience further physical harm to her body which could result in more severe complications and difficulty to conceive in the future is not only morally and humanistically disheartening, it is a violation of human rights. The right to choose is a very personal health decision dealing with personal freedom as to what one feels she needs for herself and her own body--medical decisions and actions that respect that woman's decision and support her in carrying it out due to the personal and difficult choices she has to make over risks to her health should not be made illegal. We need to do all we can to reverse the ban and make choice have it's rightful place, supporting the ideals behind the Center for Reproductive Rights ; personal health, freedoms and democracy are at severe risk if we don't remove such bans. (In Zuwarski's case, having the ban in place in a sense is counterproductive to many Republicans' fight for pro life: Ms. Zuwarski because of the ban is now at severe risk of not being able to conceive in the future. Decisions to put the ban in place is not in line with the ideals behind the idea of America; removing the ban can save lives and choice should be an option in a country founded on the humanistic , not totalitarian, concept of all people having inalienable rights -- life, liberty, pursuit of happiness -- and freedom to do what is personally healthy with their own bodies.
Why is this important?
Pro choice does not automatically mean against life. More lives can be saved and future lives can exist if the ban is removed. This is an issue that is personal to the person making the decision--no one else knows what a single woman's experience is during a pregnancy -- choices about each person's health should be in the sole power of that individual and not made illegal. Please support the lawsuit that 5 women have brought against Texas and support the moral and humanistic and democratic initiatives of the Center for Reproductive Rights whom is assisting in the lawsuit.
