This comic depicts an old man who is a part of Congress announcing abolishing women’s rights. On June 24, 2022 the Supreme court overturned Roe v. Wade. Overturning Roe v. Wade allows states to decide if they want to have abortions. By the end of 2022, 24 states banned abortion. According to the Center for American Progress, an advocacy organization that demonstrates a liberal viewpoint on social and economic issues, “Researchers have found that if abortion is banned throughout the United States, the overall number of maternal deaths would rise by 24 percent. This number is even worse for Black women, whose deaths would rise by 39 percent.” The overturning of Roe v. Wade is just the beginning. If the government can take away a person with a womb’s right to decide whether to carry an embryo and a right to life-saving medical procedures, what else can they do?
