Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson: There is no social safety net to help women who are forced to give birth. 'I never imagined I would see such a devastating rollback of women’s reproductive rights in my lifetime.'
I never imagined I would see such a devastating rollback of women’s reproductive rights in my lifetime. I agree with the three dissenting Supreme Court justices who wrote “with sorrow” that “one result of today’s decision is certain: the curtailment of women’s rights, and of their status as free and equal citizens.”
The deepest victims of this flawed decision are women who need access to care, but it harms us all. Our nation’s political divide between red and blue states will be even deeper. Half our nation’s states, including the neighboring “blue” states of Colorado and Nevada, will continue to provide abortion services, and the other half, “red” states, will ban services .
We haven’t seen it play out in 50 years, but it’s crystal clear that a woman being forced to continue a pregnancy she does not want will certainly impact her well-being. And privacy has been compromised; even victims of rape or incest, to meet the state’s exemptions, will have to report the abuse through the legal system, a further violation of their privacy and a potentially re-traumatizing process.
