Thirteen States of the United States have completely banned the right to abortion since the decision, Friday, June 24, of the Supreme Court. In space a few hoursdoctors can no longer allow women to have abortions without risking life imprisonment. America is fractured.
A clinic in Louisiana (United States) which practiced abortion closed its doors, barely the judgment of the Supreme Court pronounced, Friday, June 24. An anti-abortion activist, who poses with photos of fetuses for the cameras, feels victorious. “It is a historic day. We’ve been praying for this for 36 years“, he says. Very quickly, an activist pro-abortion challenges him. “What you have prayed for will only make it easier for women to die, because those who want to have an abortion will no longer have any medical care.“, she retorts. A symbolic exchange of America today divided in two.
Anywhere in the country, in New York, St. Louis or The bone Angeles, hundreds of thousands of protesters oppose the Supreme Court’s decision. “It’s tragic, because we fought so hard to get this law passed in 1973“, explains a woman. On the other side, opponents of abortion are jubilant. 13 States have already announced that they will ban the right to abortion. Several pro-abortion states have announced that they will welcome all American women who wish to have an abortion.
