Evidently part of an overall mission by the Republican Party \u00a0to overturn Roe vs. Wade (the landmark 1973 legal decision which effectively legalised abortion) nationwide, six other states have passed bills limiting abortions this year alone, including Arkansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and Utah. Each state has its own variation on restricting the procedure, with Ohio\u2019s ban containing some particularly troublesome language that goes so far as to prohibit \u201cdrugs or devices used to prevent the implantation of a fertilised ovum,\u201d giving it the potential to limit women&#8217;s access to birth control as well. First it\u2019s abortions, then it\u2019s forms of birth control such as the pill and IUDs, and it\u2019s only a matter of time before our right to make any decision regarding reproductive health is taken away from us entirely.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":77144,"id":77144,"title":"D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh","filename":"D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","filesize":364435,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-horrific-future-of-womens-reproductive-rights-in-america\/d7g_iprwsaiejfh\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Image: Twitter @ACLU","name":"d7g_iprwsaiejfh","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":77116,"date":"2019-05-29 09:27:53","modified":"2019-05-29 09:29:59","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1500,"height":1500,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","thumbnail-width":96,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","medium-width":1500,"medium-height":1500,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","medium_large-width":1500,"medium_large-height":1500,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","large-width":1500,"large-height":1500,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","1536x1536-width":1500,"1536x1536-height":1500,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","2048x2048-width":1500,"2048x2048-height":1500,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":12,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/D7G_iPrWsAIEjfh-e1559122123740.jpeg","wpvr_mobile-width":1500,"wpvr_mobile-height":1500}},{"ID":77146,"id":77146,"title":"Bildschirmfoto 2019-05-29 um 11.23.28","filename":"Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","filesize":169826,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-horrific-future-of-womens-reproductive-rights-in-america\/bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11-23-28-2\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"Image: Twitter @NYCLU","name":"bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11-23-28-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":77116,"date":"2019-05-29 09:32:26","modified":"2019-05-29 09:32:49","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":600,"height":600,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","thumbnail-width":96,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","medium-width":600,"medium-height":600,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","medium_large-width":600,"medium_large-height":600,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","large-width":600,"large-height":600,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","1536x1536-width":600,"1536x1536-height":600,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","2048x2048-width":600,"2048x2048-height":600,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":12,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Bildschirmfoto-2019-05-29-um-11.23.28.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":600,"wpvr_mobile-height":600}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"4","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Throughout all of the commotion to grant rights to a fertilised egg grown inside of a woman, the same cannot be said for an egg fertilised externally.

Unless these bills are overturned, many American women will be forced into a future riddled with potential murder convictions, unwanted pregnancies, and, most extreme of all, death as a result of lack of access to safe abortions.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":77118,"id":77118,"title":"60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n","filename":"60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","filesize":56447,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-horrific-future-of-womens-reproductive-rights-in-america\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"","name":"60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":77116,"date":"2019-05-29 08:43:17","modified":"2019-05-29 08:43:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1080,"height":1080,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","thumbnail-width":96,"thumbnail-height":96,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","medium-width":1080,"medium-height":1080,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","medium_large-width":1080,"medium_large-height":1080,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","large-width":1080,"large-height":1080,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","1536x1536-width":1080,"1536x1536-height":1080,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","2048x2048-width":1080,"2048x2048-height":1080,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":12,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/60730587_2304667529747197_5561046229847775619_n.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1080,"wpvr_mobile-height":1080}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"6","caption":"Handmaid's Tale, image courtesy of Hulu"}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p>This is no longer just a storyline created to boost ratings on televised dramas. Instead, it\u2019s quickly becoming a reality that has exponentially greater implications on women\u2019s lives than the actual abortion alone. Women caught undergoing an illegal abortion could potentially face felony charges for their actions. Felons are unable to vote in America, meaning these individuals will no longer have the opportunity to elect government officials into office that have their best interests in mind, thus creating a hellish future that refuses to look out for American women as a whole.<\/p>\n<p>Another important aspect to look at in all of this is the correlation between the states in which these bills are passing and their access to education \u2013 including sex education. US News publishes a ranking of all 50 states, and it comes as no surprise that Alabama comes in last on its list of the Best States for Education.<\/p>\n<p>As a fellow Bible Belter, I spent my formative years in the neighbouring state of Georgia and I can only imagine the approach to sexual education is the same in Alabama as it was for me: nary a mention of condoms or any other birth control methods to ensure safer sex. Instead, we were taught via a time-honoured tradition of scare tactics, disturbing images of STI horror cases, and forced pledges to maintain virginity until marriage. If public schools in the south continue to refuse comprehensive sex education and instead continue to rely on pro-life rhetoric, we are doomed to a future of continued misinformation on abortion that will only result in detrimental and seriously dangerous consequences for women\u2019s rights.<\/p>\n<p>In a time that feels so uncertain and frightening for women in America, it\u2019s important to look at these future possibilities and allow them to fuel our activism rather than having it breed inactivity. As previously mentioned, Alabama\u2019s bill isn\u2019t set to start for another six months and Georgia\u2019s ban doesn\u2019t begin until January 2020. That means there is still time to overthrow these unconstitutional pieces of legislation. There are a myriad of ways in which we can fight this, whether through continued protesting, donating to organisations such as Planned Parenthood and other reproductive rights organisations, and most importantly, voting. Aside from the 2020 presidential election, local elections are equally as important in ensuring our rights are upheld. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.gov\/\">USA.gov<\/a> is a useful tool for keeping track of upcoming local elections on a state-by-state basis. Voting pro-choice politicians into both local and nationwide office is one of the biggest ways to ensure women\u2019s rights to choose are kept intact. Only then can we fight off a fictionalised future that should remain solely on TV.<\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>The horrific future of women\u2019s reproductive rights in America The horrific future of women\u2019s reproductive rights in America<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-horrific-future-of-womens-reproductive-rights-in-america\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"The horrific future of women\u2019s reproductive rights in America The horrific future of women\u2019s reproductive rights in America\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/the-horrific-future-of-womens-reproductive-rights-in-america\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2019-05-29T09:29:04+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2019-05-29T10:33:28+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"sleek\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
