“The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, to her well-being and dignity. When the government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a full adult human responsible for her own choices.” - Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg –

In my lifetime, I’ve lived in different countries, under different laws and political systems. Human Rights and autonomy of the body has been a central point in the constitution of each country, and its interpretations has led to equality.

The elimination of a woman’s personal right to decide over her own body goes very deep. Does the mere biological fact that she has ovaries and a womb make her a lesser human being than a man? Can she freely decide over her future, opportunities? Why should anyone hope to be the sole deciding voice over their own body and mind? This is not only about abortion, but also about all human rights. When this right can be taken away, what would be a STOP to take other constitutional rights away? To marry whom you love, the right to use contraception, and even “the right to bear arms”?

Say NO.
