I would like to touch upon a vital topic that concerns each of us, especially women. I want to talk about the indifference to women’s problems on the part of those who have vowed to be the guardians of justice in our country. Recently, we have all witnessed the indifference of the Supreme Court to the violation of our fundamental human rights. I am talking about the “law, which prohibits abortions after roughly six weeks,” which was passed in Texas a few days ago (Liptak et al., 2021, para. 4).
Such maleficent apathy poses a threat to all women, not just in Texas but all states. Similar harmful legislative acts could appear in other states as well. For example, the same law already exists in Oklahoma (Gonzalez & Wise, 2021). I want you all to stand up for women’s rights, for the civil rights of your sisters and mothers, and your rights before it is too late.
The abortion ban in Texas is just the tip of the iceberg of the massive problem we are still suffering from. That issue is Trump’s legacy he left for us young Americans. He divided the nation, brought a pandemic to the country, got his favorites in the Supreme Court, and tried to undermine the legitimacy of the elections (Prasad, 2021). If we do not oppose the abortion ban now, we will never be able to heal the wounds that Trump has inflicted on America. Further inaction will only lead to more losses of rights and freedoms. Perhaps this is the most crucial test for our generation, and we must show that we have enough will to defend ourselves and others.
