The Roe ruling is not about states' rights. It's about power and control | Derecka Purnell

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : Lawmakers could pass legislation that empowers people to give birth and afford children, including universal basic income, paid parental leave, universal childcare, and free college.
47% : I found out about Dobbs, the supreme court's recent decision that overturned Roe v Wade and Planned Parenthood v Casey, in a room full of Black women in Boston.
43% : Republicans and Democrats could support total student debt cancellation, so workers would not have to choose between saving for children or for loan payments.
42% : Not only did the court erase the federal protection of abortion rights and access, but Justice Clarence Thomas additionally called for the review and overturning of other important court decisions that protect privacy rights, same-sex intercourse and same-sex marriage.
40% : I spent a couple of years in college casually arguing against abortion.
40% : At the time, I had been unfortunately persuaded by social media accounts that Planned Parenthood was a eugenic plot to kill Black babies and destroy Black families.
38% : Since I could easily point to ways that the state failed to protect poor, Black people and perpetuated violence, I initially found the arguments against abortion for the sake of protecting Black life convincing.
34% : Call the police, who are tasked with enforcing the criminalization of abortion?
