Roe vs Wade and the Dangers of Religious Fundamentalism

Fifty years ago in the United States, the bill Roe vs Wade was passed on the grounds of liberty. Sadly, in 2022, this bill has now been overturned. Abortion in America is now a state law, rather than a federal law, meaning that women who live in Bible states who need access to abortion will not be able to receive one.

While I agree with Feminists that abortion is a fundamental right, my disagreements lie in that I do not view abortion as a 'Feminist' issue. To me, abortion is very much a religion vs science issue. Most people who are anti-abortion are staunchly religious. The United States' government has a large body of right-wing Conservative Christian fundamentalists. They are mixing religion with politics. Secular liberal principles are very much for abortion rights. In the 21st century, it is a massive shame that we are allowing thousand-year-old ideas that belong in the Dark Ages to be pushed onto mainstream society.
