This decision is brutal for parents.

WOMEN'S RIGHTS

Parents Will Pay A Heavy Price For the End Of Roe
[[link removed]] 
Today, the Supreme Court ruled that Americans do not have constitutional right
to abortion,
[[link removed]]
effectively overturning Roe v. Wade. To be clear, a majority of Americans
support the right to an abortion. 

The average person who gets an abortion in America is a mom. As Sarah Aswell
wrote for Scary Mommy
[[link removed]]when
an initial draft of this decision leaked in early May: “ Six in ten women who
have abortions already have children
[[link removed]]
— and half of those women have more than one kid. These are women who
well-understand the responsibility and resources that go into having a child,
and who know what’s best for her and her family. A full one out of three women
[[link removed]]
who seek an abortion say that it’s so they can take better care of the children
they already have.”

The Supreme Court’s decision to vaporize the right to an abortion will have a
devastating effect on people who are pregnant – both those who want to be, and
those who don’t. It’ll make things worse for rape victims and those who suffer
miscarriages, as well as ectopic pregnancies and other life-threatening
conditions. It will fall heavily on parents who simply cannot afford another
child and can’t afford the cost of traveling to a state where abortion remains
legal – which is all too many in a country as rich as America. 

Not that the Supreme Court appears to care.

  “The ultrasound technician was exceptionally quiet and tight-lipped. The
doctor came in and explained why: a hole in our son’s spine that never closed; a
bundle of nerves that were exposed; fluid in his lemon-shaped head was putting
pressure on his brain.” Read More

Talking About Sex With Our Kids In A Post-Roe World
[[link removed]] 
So what are we supposed to say to our kids now? How do you deliver the sex talk
in an era where Roe v. Wade is dead? Vanessa Kroll Bennett gave it some thought:
“It’s time to reflect on how we teach kids about these issues in the new
reality…. What does sex ed it look like in a country with a scant patchwork of
reproductive rights? What conversations are ever more important in this changing
landscape? What are parents supposed to tell their kids about sex in a post-Roe
world?” Give it a read.
