DOES THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION OVERTURNING ROE VS. WADE IN THE DOBBS CASE, MEAN THAT I CANNOT GET AN ABORTION? WHAT AM I GOING TO DO?

Contrary to what you have a heard, the United States Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade does NOT make abortion illegal. In many states, nothing will change about the availability of abortion. If you live in a state that does not pose many restrictions on abortion, you should be able to get an abortion now just as you would have been able before the Supreme Court’s decision. If you live in a state with more restrictions on abortion, you should expect those restrictions to remain in place or get even tighter. The United States Supreme Court in deciding the Dobbs case held that the United States Constitution does not create or protect a right to abortion. The Supreme Court held that individual states, through their elected state legislators, have the authority to pass laws expanding or limiting access to abortion within the boundary of their respective states. Thinking about it dispassionately, many people would prefer that the people for whom they vote, and who are accountable to the voters – their state senators and representatives — make decisions about matters within their states rather than the nine, unelected members of the Supreme Court.

However, even if you live in a state that continues to allow, or even expands the availability of, abortion if you have an unplanned pregnancy or untimely pregnancy, you should consider all of your options before choosing to have an abortion. Abortion ends the pregnancy but does not erase the fact that you were pregnant. Abortion means that a woman does not have to carry a baby to term, but it is unlikely that she will ever forget she had an abortion.

An often-overlooked alternative to abortion is adoption. It is true that a woman must endure 9 months of pregnancy and then make the decision to leave the hospital without the baby. Even though she will never forget she had a baby, she will know that she gave her baby the opportunity to live life in the home of a family who dearly wanted a baby to love and cherish. A family who probably spent years and thousands of dollars on infertility treatments trying to get pregnant and possibly had one or more disappointments and lots of money trying to adopt. At least, in giving a baby up for adoption, or more correctly, making an adoption plan for the baby, you will be able to offset some of your grief with the knowledge that you did something incredibly unselfish for a fellow human being — an act as close to God-like, as anything imaginable.

WHAT IF I AM NOT READY TO RAISE A BABY, MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS CANNOT HELP, AND I CANNOT GET AN ABORTION

With the Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade, some states, like Tennessee and Mississippi, may significantly reduce, if not eliminate, access to abortion as a way of family planning. In those states, a woman facing an untimely pregnancy or unplanned pregnancy, who does not have the support of friends and family and knows that she cannot commit to the lifetime responsibility of parenting a child may find putting the baby up for adoption or, more correctly, making an adoption plan for her unborn baby provides a good, if not better, alternative to aborting the baby. “Better” in the sense that few people can say that they CHANGED THE LIVES OF ANOTHER PERSON in any significant way. Giving a family a baby that cannot get pregnant is the most amazing gift one person can give another. It is as close to “God-Like” as any other human endeavor. As any woman who has given up a baby for adoption will tell you, the gifts to the child, the adoptive parents, and herself (knowing that her baby is okay and loved) by no means makes the decision easy. IT IS NOT EASY! But neither is parenting or aborting a baby easy.
