In this edition of LTAR: A women’s right vs the Supreme Court’s Might
A leaked document revealed that the US Supreme Court may overturn the historic Roe v Wade case law that legalized abortion. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, abortion is an important component of public health. The most recent data from 2019 offers a snapshot of which groups seek the procedure.
the data shows, that barring access to the procedure would disproportionately affect young women. And in 2019, women in their 20s accounted for more than half of abortions. Black women had the highest rate; white women had the lowest.
Our panel deconstructs this issue with four questions
1. Why conservative white men are so interested in the issue of abortion when the data shows WOC and lower-income women are the ones requesting abortions
2. Not having an abortion could jeopardize a women’s health
3. Legally, what are the ramifications of banning a right that was once part of the law-Could they bring slavery back?
4. No one is talking about the trauma a woman faces with an unplanned pregnancy
LTAR addresses the hypocrisy of this issue with the brain droppings of George Carlin from his 1996 CD- George Carlin: Back in Town
