Dozens of activists gathered before the US Supreme Court this Tuesday (3): on the one hand, women who were “in shock” at the prospect of suppression of the right to abortion; on the other hand, they hope that this decision will be taken in response to an old aspiration of the conservative movement.
Posters as imposing as its resolutions in front of Washington’s tall marble building contradict each other: on the one hand, “abortion is a human right”; On the other hand “human rights for all, born and unborn”.
Tarra Kuroda, a 47-year-old housewife, said: “I’m in shock. According to a draft resolution that guaranteed the right to abortion in the United States in 1973 and was leaked by the Politico website, the Supreme was prepared to overturn “Roe v. Wade” decision is almost the same age.
“My body, my choice,” Kuroda said, holding a banner that read, “I have two little girls and I’m here to protect their future.”
He hopes this bill, which has rocked the American political scene, will “bring people together before the midterm elections (to be held in November) to elect the people lucky enough to vote” to pass a bill that allows abortion at the federal level.
“The same debates have been going on for years. I remember the history books when I was younger, women in the 60s were fighting for the same thing, it’s sad that we have to continue,” she complains.
“First step”
On the other side of the metal fences, protesters chanted “Abortion is oppression” in front of groups of college students visiting the Capitol.
Archie Smith, a member of a group against abortion rights, said the Supreme Court’s previously published text in some media was “just a draft, there is still a lot of work to be done”.
“For the pro-life movement, this is just the first step in the right direction,” the 22-year-old said.
Smith said “it’s not enough to make it illegal”, but “we would love to have it”; We must “make it redundant” and “create a culture of living in the United States”.
“Let’s take this fight to Congress,” one woman began, into a megaphone surrounded by others opposing the procedure, in anticipation of the political debate coming.
