The dire health consequences of the recent Roe decision

This is a continuation of my last blog. The decision of the 5 to 4 Roe vs Wade decision was made in January of 1973.

First of all we must talk about birth control, BEFORE bringing up the topic of abortion. The far right wants easy answers to fit their insightless agenda. There are no easy solutions. However, l haven't seen anyone that supports anti-abortion discuss the fact that men play a role in this. Way too many women are being impregnated by
