Overruling Roe v Wade: The International Dimension – » The Australian Independent Media Network

American influence isn’t as large as one imagines

The overruling of Roe v Wade by the US Supreme Court in Dobbs v Jackson Women’s Health Organization has created a sense that those outside the US will somehow draw inspiration from the example of the sacred foetus and the diminished autonomy of its carrier.

Groups such as MSI Reproductive Choices have also drawn a line in the sand of resistance. “To anyone who wants to deny someone’s right to make decisions about what is right for their body and their future, our message is ‘We are not going back’.” Dobbs, in short, may prove on the international stage to be more damp squib than firecracker.

FLASHBACK 2021: Morrison Government sends Australia backward in women’s rights

LEST WE FORGET

The overturning of Roe v Wade in the U.S. has reminded us all of the importance of women’s rights everywhere.

This article from 2021 by Labor MP Graham Perrett examines how the Morrison Government was biased against women and set women’s rights backwards in Australia.

‘Fewer rights than their grandmothers’: read three justices’ searing abortion dissent | Stephen Breyer, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan | The Guardian

‘With sorrow – for this Court, but more, for the many millions of American women who have today lost a fundamental constitutional protection – we dissent.’

It’s a great day for politics but hell of a day for the Republican Party that got what they wished for but lost voting women in the base by doing it. Even Trump is denying he had any part in this decision but was “doing gods will”. What coward the man in fact is.

After today, young women will come of age with fewer rights than their mothers and grandmothers had. The majority accomplishes that result without so much as considering how women have relied on the right to choose or what it means to take that right away. The majority’s refusal even to consider the life-altering consequences of reversing Roe and Casey is a stunning indictment of its decision.

Overturning Roe v. Wade Shows the Right Has Nothing but Contempt for Democracy

ISIS has been REPLCED by yet another sort of terror vying for a medieval state the CHRISTIAN RIGHT

The Right in the US has long been a brazenly antidemocratic force. The latest example is the apparent decision to overturn Roe v. Wade — contrary to the wishes of the vast majority of the population and the individual rights of millions of people.
