Take a Deep Breath | October 2022
Sometimes a person just needs to take a deep breath, exhale slowly, and calm down. Let’s start there.
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court issued the Dobbs ruling overturning the infamous 1973 Roe v. Wade decision on abortion. It set off a firestorm. Abortion advocates called the ruling an attack on women’s health care, robbing her of reproductive freedom.
Even though abortion can be characterized as a “deeply personal decision,” it is often played out politically. Strategists debate the electoral value of one’s position on abortion. Activists on both sides write letters to the editor, post comments on blogs, and make considerable noise which often resorts to name-calling, insults, and villainization of others.
Stay calm!
