As we go into the 2022 general elections, we are being bombarded with messaging in both traditional media as well as social media proclaiming that abortion is among our most pressing issues. We are being told that if you believe in a woman’s right to choose and you believe in women’s health, then you must vote a certain way. Abortion has been a hot social and political topic for the last 20-plus years.
However, the Supreme Court in June struck down the 49-year-old ruling on Roe v. Wade that allowed equal access to abortion throughout the United States. This ruling did not eliminate abortion in the United States, but it reassigned the legality of abortion back to the individual states by deciding that “the authority to regulate abortion must be returned to the people and their elected representatives.”
But if you listened to the knee-jerk reactions of the media and federal officials, you would think that if you are not voting based on the abortion issue, then you are part of the War on Women, and you want women to be subservient to men.
