Why is it (nearly always) men who decide what a woman can do with her body? Look at anything restricting women’s rights and there will be a man leading the charge.
The USA is going backwards as fast as they can!

America was fighting for human rights in Afghanistan including the rights of women which have been violated by the Taliban. Yet now the right Republican state of Texas has passed a law criminalizing abortion over 6 weeks gestation, even in cases of rape and incest. To enforce the new law Texas is offering rewards of $10000 to anyone who successfully sued a woman who has an abortion. The anti abortion payouts can also be earned for sueing any medical staff involved in an abortion or even sueing someone for driving a woman to a clinic for a termination.
Dreadful violation of woman's rights.
Texas or Taliban , take your choice .
