I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world

So while we are all being distracted by the Depp/Heard trial, and Kim K wearing Marilyn Monroes dress to the Met hoohaa, a terrible erosion is expedited with the news of the overturning of Roe V. Wade. But it's in the US you say. Doesn't matter. Do you really believe this issue is gone from our politics here in Australia?

Roe v. Wade (1973) was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction.

Whatever you believe about abortion, and I am NOT going to debate this here, understand one awful truth.

No laws will stop the termination of unwanted pregnancy.

They will simply increase the number of illegal and dangerous terminations.

Women will die.

And that is the trade off that lawmakers and dogma based organisations are willing to make (shockingly most of them do not possess a vagina and ovaries) to keep their personal beliefs and peace of mind intact.
