% >> THANK YOU.
% THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
% >> AS THE NATION AND WISCONSIN
% MARKED THE 50-YEAR ANNIVERSARY
% OF THE ROE V. WADE DECISION THIS
% WEEK, WE TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY TO
% HEAR FROM YOUNG PEOPLE ACROSS
% STATE AS DOBBS V. JACKSON HAS
% NOW REVERTED ABORTION LAW TO THE
% STATES.
% WHEN ASKED WHAT ISSUES ARE MOST
% IMPORTANT TO THEM, MANY YOUNG
% VOTERS SAID ABORTION RIGHTS.
% >> I THINK WOMEN, A WOMAN'S%
RIGHT TO CHOOSE, IS VERY% IMPORTANT.
% >> BY OVERTURNING ROE, AFFLUENT
% WOMEN WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO GET
% ABORTIONS.
% THEY'LL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO GET
% SAFE ABORTIONS.
% BUT WOMEN IN UNDERSERVED
% COMMUNITIES, WOMEN OF COLOR,
% WOMEN WHO LIVE BELOW THE POVERTY
% LINE OR JUST AT THE POVERTY
% LINE, THEIR LIVES WILL BE PUT IN
% DANGER BECAUSE THEY WON'T BE
% ABLE TO GET SAFE ABORTIONS.
% >> IT TOOK AWAY OUR ABILITY TO
% HAVE THE SAY WHETHER WE WANT TO
% BE A PARENT OR NOT.
% >> IT ALMOST FEELS LIKE GUNS
% HAVE MORE RIGHTS THAN WOMEN.
% >> IT'S IMPORTANT TO ME BECAUSE
% AS A YOUNG GIRL WHO STILL HAS
% LIKE THE REST OF HER LIFE AHEAD
% OF HER, KNOWING THAT A CHOICE
% LIKE THAT HAS KIND OF BEEN
% STRIPPED AWAY, IT'S SCARY.
% LIKE KNOWING THAT IF I COULDN'T
% AFFORD IT OR IF IT WAS LIKE IF I
% GOT SEXUALLY ASSAULTED OR
% SOMETHING LIKE THAT, LIKE I%
WOULD STILL HAVE TO CARRY THE% BABY
.
% AND EVEN IF I COULD DIE IN THE
% PROCESS, OR IF I KNEW THE BABY
% WOULDN'T MAKE IT, I WOULD STILL
% HAVE TO HAVE IT.
% >> I THINK IT WILL CAUSE A LOT
