At the time of this writing, the future for women in the United States looks grim. The U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade doesn’t just mean that women in at least 20 and up to 30 states won’t be able to choose when and if they endure pregnancy and childbirth. It also means that some of them won’t be able to, for example, leave a bad job because they need the money to raise the child they didn’t want to have. It means they won’t be able to leave a relationship they don’t want to be in anymore because they need to split child-care duties. It means they might die if their pregnancy ends in a miscarriage, the treatment for which is dilation and curettage, the same as a late-term abortion. It means that, in approximately half of this country, women don’t have full control over their own fates.
