How Roe v. Wade being overturned is affecting the woman in the states where it is now illegal for abortions to happen.

Know

Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming are all states that are affected by Roe v. Wade. 

I’m stuck,  Woman can not have abortions because of what men think and have to say, to add on these are guys that 50 plus years old making dumb decisions for the future when they won’t be alive.

In some states a sexual assault victim is not excused  from this, they are forced to keep the “child”

Want

What benefits do these states get from overturning Roe v. Wade.

Why can a man choose something they will never go through.

Why are we moving backwards and not forward

Learned

Without Roe abortion will probably decline more because woman will have to travel to states that do abortions

Roe V. Wade was a supreme court in 1973 which made abortion legal all over the US.

Individual states decided whether and when abortions will be legal. Some states have also opened arms to woman who are in states that will ban abortions

I think James Baldwin was saying that there is more history out in the world than American history. I agree with him because it is true, there are many more countries with more history than America. We are only taught American history and so little history about the world that it seems that America’s history is huge compared to other countries. I think what he meant by “the world is larger” is American history is so little compared to the world. There are more larger, more daring, more beautiful, more terrible things in world history than there is in American.

It seems like this is always talked about but things I’m gonna use in life. We are not taught much about taxes, ways to keep money safe, and just things we would need to know in life. Yes the basic math, reading, writing, science, and history is needed but I promise I do not need to remember a bunch of math formulas to do my taxes. Yes some will be useful but there is no way I am using y = mx + b other than in school. I don’t think some of these things being taught will be useful in the future for most people/students. I feel the need that the basic things in life that are needed should be taught in school more often. This will prepare these students for the real world and set them up perfectly for a successful life. Setting up the future of the world perfectly would just make the world a bit better.
