In response to the comments that this is “ONLY about Abortion”
If this was ONLY about abortion …
-
Why did they use the word "Person" instead of "Woman" or "Female"?
-
Because they want to include Men, Women, Boys (minors) & Girls (minors).
If this was ONLY about abortion …
-
Why didn't they just say "abortion"?
-
Instead they use the words, "Reproductive Freedom".
-
"Reproductive Freedom" includes ALL Reproductive Healthcare.
-
Gender Transitioning is included in the category "Reproductive Healthcare".
Think About it.
