Whoopi Goldberg, on the end of Roe v Wade means to
her:
“You got people telling me I gotta wear a mask, or don’t
wear a mask, or do this. Everybody wants to tell me what to do! This is my
body! My doctor, and myself, and my child—that’s who makes the decision [about
abortion]. Women, when they decide something is not right for them, they’re
going to take it into their own hands [because] we got tired of tripping over
[other] women in public bathrooms who were giving themselves abortions because
there was nowhere safe, nowhere clean, nowhere to go. It is a hard, awful
decision that people make [and] if you don’t have the wherewithal to understand
that, to start the conversation with, ‘I know how hard this must be for you,’
if you’re starting it by telling me I’m going to burn in hell, then you’re not
looking out for me as a human being, whether I subscribe to your religion or
not, and that is not OK. It has nothing to do about your religion. This is not
a religious issue, this is a human issue.”
Word. And Whoopi knows whereof she speaks because she has
been quite candid of her own illegal abortion she had as a
teenager.
Remember, ending Roe v Wade won’t end
abortion, it will end safe abortion.
