If the issue of reproduction rights is important to you

Please don't let threads like this fly under your radar.

Judicial appointments are so critical to pro-choice we can't afford judges like this. Raise the profile and rise the roof. Let them know we've noticed what's going on, we're mad as hell and we aren't going to take this shit anymore.

I think what happens is the ability to obtain a safe, legal, affordable abortion disappears faster for poor women, than for a women of means. My feeling has been that a rich mother may verbalize anti-abortion sediments but if the situation comes up between an early, unsuitable marriage, carrying to term and an adoption, they quietly obtain a quiet discrete termination. There should never have to be a reason given.

One concern I have is the rape clause. Not that isn't an understandable reason but that someone may be accused of it, in order to have a legal reason besides it killing you, if you carry to term. It should be no fault just like divorce.

Just my thoughts.
