     I have one opinion on the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. It's wrong, morally, ethically wrong, to deny women the right to abort, no matter the reason. It is, I feel, a decision that shouldn't need defending at this point. People keep telling us why abortions are necessary, why they're complicated, how it's not just about abortion. Yet people keep fighting it, because they will defend the lives of children, so long as they never have to see them. So long as they are never reminded of the fact that not everyone is capable of raising children, or the fact that the United States has never made childcare an adequate priority. The decision to overturn Roe v. Wade stems from the same mindset that gets rid of benches at bus stops so that homeless people can't find a place to sleep, a mindset that insists, "If we ignore it, it will eventually go away."
