   Why are these rights even being questioned?   
      
   A woman should have the right to privacy and to do what she wants/needs with   
   her body. This is what ~70% of the people want.

   I don't know ultimately what will happen now. Perhaps it will be codified into   
   law.

   It became an issue now because the GOP was campaigning on it although they   
   have recently (since Roe v. Wade was overturned) removed any talk about it   
   from their websites been pushing it.

   She has no choice since Roe was overturned. It is an issue now.

   We are he now not because of the Democrats, but because the GOP spent billions   
   to get their choices on the supreme court. One thing thay wanted was to   
   overturn Roe v. Wade.   
      
   Now that they've done it I'm not sure they want it but here we are.   
      
   The overturning of Roe v. Wade and the currnt state of SCOTUS is a GOP thing,   
   not a Democrat thing.
