Roe v. Wade is history

We probably shouldn’t focus solely on such excruciating circumstances. Everyone should have the right to make a choice about their own body. Period.

Is the answer to give rapists and predators free reign?

Laws against sexual predators are ineffective, therefore legalize sexual assault.

Is this a joke?

No, and the answer is certainly NOT to just nicely ask criminals not to commit crimes, either.

Reads more like one lonely man's plea to legalize rape.

I thought it was either an attempt to twist someone's words or a genuine misunderstanding.

Anyway the good thing is that hopefully women will be able to travel to more Liberal States in order to do what needs to be done.

Women used to have to travel to England from Ireland for the same reason.

We have the highest rate of teen pregnancy.Expect that to go up now.

States like California may soon enact "Haven Laws" to cover such activities.

Please tell me where I used the word every in my post? I was speaking in generalities. You inserted the "EVERY" yourself and kind of missed the point. You (collectively) cannot deny that SOME states deny sex education to students. SOME of these same states promote abstinence only. SOME teenagers are left completely unprepared for real world encounters and real world consequences. This is SOMEONE'S version of an ideal world. It attempts to control knowledge and how people behave. Banning abortion attempts to do same.

Truth is when governing for such a diverse population as the United States, such strictures and bans really can't work. SOME laws must be open ended to allow different people from different backgrounds to function together.

Expect most sensible young women / women of any age to pretty much stop having sex now.

I can think of way better ways to risk my entire future.

Also:
I can't help but think of the numbers of teen suicide and honor killings that will happen as a result.
Not to mention homelessness, hunger, poverty, and child abuse.

Trump Privately Called a Roe v. Wade Reversal 'Bad' for His Party

That's a terrible attempt at sidestepping the point.

The point being that women become pregnant as a result of incest and rape even though those things are illegal. So yeah, an abortion ban is most certainly a problem - AIUI, banning abortion even in the case of incest or rape is a consideration.
How's that for a kick in the face of a rape victim - "While we're desperately sorry you were raped you must nevertheless carry his child to birth. Thoughts and prayers, etc."

Next on the chopping block will be premarital sex, same-sex marriage, contraception, spousal rape and so on.

Trump is incoherent at best.
Ah - giving those rights to someone other than the woman concerned, you mean?

Men:
Can have sex (or force sex), walk away, never know the outcome.

Women:
Can have sex (or be forced), become pregnant, be thrown out of family for having had sex (which is apparent when you are pregnant), be thrown out of family for being pregnant, have everyone in town talk about it because they will see your belly, suffer mental and physical abuse from family / friends / social media, endure shaming, medical trauma or complications from pregnancy, months of nausea and body changes, stuck with the financial burden of medical appointments, missed school or work, having to raise a baby (all of baby's needs plus their medical expenses including possible NICU or birth complications), daycare, childcare, etc. not just for 18 years but possibly longer.

I'm not saying all men walk away but they could.

It's incomprehensible to me that this is considered equality, or that some people don't see it as unfair.

Also I'm surprised more men aren't freaking out in USA because with all these potential pregnancies they will be on the hook for at least 18 years of child support every time they want to hook up. That includes married fathers.

Trump said the abolition of Roe v. Wade would be bad for Republicans?!

What about the victims of rape and incest?

Oh . . . right . . . "If Ivanka weren't my daughter, perhaps I'd be dating her" . . . "Don’t you think my daughter’s hot?  She’s hot, right?" . . . "She's got the best body." . . . "She’s actually always been very voluptuous." -- Various quotes from Donald J. Trump

It's amusing how bad logic ultimately led him to the right idea.
