What rights will the high court target next?

Re “The future of abortion” (June 24): I heard the comments and read the letters saying the Roe decision will save precious babies. Maybe, but this is viewed through the filter of loving homes with adequate resources.

Men cajole, coerce and often force women into sex and have the option of walking away from an unwanted pregnancy. Women don’t have that option. Many don’t have the resources, financial or emotional, to support an unplanned pregnancy.

As a former child protective social worker, I can tell you about the hell some unwanted children go through, including babies

beaten so severely they end up completely disabled for life. As for adoption, there are currently over 400,000 children languishing in foster care in the U.S. We need to trust that women know if they are capable of caring for a child. If you think abortion is wrong, then don’t choose to get one.

Roe v. Wade did not demand or even require that women get an abortion. It simply gave women the right to choose. What rights will the Supreme Court take away next that are not “deeply rooted in history” or written in the Constitution? The right to vote, perhaps? Wake up, women of America. We are under siege.

Because the Constitution doesn’t say anything about abortion, some argue that means women don’t have the right to an abortion. Let me get this straight. We don’t have the right to anything unless the Constitution specifically gives us that right?

We have thousands of assumed rights the Constitution does not mention. It does not mention automobiles, computers, cell phones, airplanes or birth control. Does that mean all our assumed rights are in jeopardy?

Would someone please remind the conservative Supreme Court judges that the U.S. Supreme Court was not set up as a vehicle to make personal wishes come true?

I think that it has slipped their minds that they represent all of the people in the United States, not just evangelicals and far-right conservatives.
