Welcome to the Horry County Democratic Party

It was shocking to learn from the SCOTUS leaked document, that the Court could make the decision to overturn Roe v Wade. As a woman, I am enraged by the continued assault on a woman’s right to choose for her and her family’s future. So often Republicans say that government is too big and should not be governing our lives. However, it appears government is not too big if it fits a Republican agenda trampling on the rights of Americans who oppose/disagree with them as in the case of Roe v Wade.

By about a 2 to 1 margin, Americans say Roe v. Wade should be upheld rather than overturned. The potential SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe vs Wade panders to the “Right to Life” proponents who are the minority. “Right to Life” proponents want you to believe that the life of an unborn child/undeveloped fetus is more important than the rights of the mother. This is especially true when you have a mother who has to suffer through an unwanted pregnancy that was the result of incest or rape.

Overturning Roe v Wade can put women’s lives at risk and take women’s rights back 50 years. Does the SCOTUS want women to go back to the days of back-alley abortions that are dangerous and could be the last act of a desperate woman? South Carolina’s Gov. McMaster wants to ban abortions in South Carolina as soon as SCOTUS releases their decision.

It’s so important to vote. Remember, your vote is your voice! We must vote to protect not only the reproductive rights of women, but the rights of all Americans before the MAGA-GOP has a chance to move on to their next target. What and who could be targeted next?
