Kudos my brother for your concern and care for your friend. You make a valid point that’s often ignored, the decision should be left to the individual and not the state, federal government or judiciary. Freedom for women’s health choices are being and have been eroded by people who espouse hypocrisy daily about supporting freedom of choice.
I won’t forget…. Our bodies, our choice! Great piece Chuck!💪🏽 You are definitely a great friend. We’ve had plenty of talks on the band field with no judgment.. Keep up the great work! I enjoy reading your informative articles because I value your opinion. 🙏🏽 ✌🏽
Thank you for sharing this personal story through the eyes of a caring male friend. A decision to end or follow through a pregnancy should ultimately be the woman’s. By helping your friend look at the pros and cons, and listening to her, you provided her with so much support for her to make her own choice.
Once again, you have touched on a subject in a way that evokes the care and concern you have for your fellow man. Having done the same thing, I too am perplexed by this wave of oppression that is being foisted on the country by both the Rethuglican Party and the MVDM Party. The MVDM stands for MyVoteDontMatter. If ever there were a time for rational thought to reproduce and spread like a marijuana haze over a Willie Nelson concert, it’s now. Today, it’s abortion rights. Tomorrow who knows?
The one and only good thing about abortion/reproductive freedoms coming under a barrage of restrictions and bans is that we no longer have it under wraps, a hush-hush issue we whispered about back in my day, even when we knew it had to be protected. It had to be showered on as a fundamental freedom and this is way it is "coming out of the closet."
I detest young, middle aged, old white Republicans - men and women - who insist on regulating women’s bodies. And I am fearful young voters are going to keep MAGAs in power over their dissatisfaction with Biden and Palestine
Once Again, Brother Chuck, THANK YOU! Compassion, care, concern, It is really baffling how so many folks are very quick to judge those of us who are Pro-Choice - in fact they care more about screaming that they are Pro-Life, but only when it is an unborn child. A young adult asked me how I could be Pro-Choice and a Christian. And I had to give it to her the way her mama didn't...Firstly, I am not a christian...I am a Believer with a capital B because KKK member say they are christians (little c)...And if we are Believers and we understand that God gives is Free Will to choose what and how we live, why does a room full of white, old, impotent men feel they can tell women in particular what to do with our bodies? If they care about the lives of children so much, why cut funding for free lunches, healthcare, early childhood development, etc.? I pulled up from tapping her in the middle of her forehead with my finger...but I had give her some real talk. Forcing women to have children they don't want due to financial, emotional, physical challenges will make a clearer divide amongst the haves and have nots. Trust and believe rich, white girls and women WILL STILL HAVE ABORTIONS because they will be able to pay doctors to do it in their private offices between coffee breaks. My mom who would be turning 80 yrs old this July, said that she grew up thinking that white girls didn't get pregnant as teens. And the white doctor that she worked for as a teenager told her, yes, they do - we just have special places they can go to get rid of the baby. Astounded my mom said, "so they don't go to the butcher?" The doctor said, "No. Never. And no one should have too." That was in August 1962. These folks deciding to end it now, DeathSantis and the other kooks do not care about people of color - and they know we will have to find resources that maybe dangerous to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.
Our world would be a better world with more Villagers like you, Brother Chuck Hobbs, in it!! There are so many story lines in today’s masterpiece but I choose to pour into you on this day!! Blessings 🙏🏾
