Soccer star Megan Rapinoe (mPinoe) explained the ramifications that the Roe v. Wade decision will create throughout the country
“You’ve been silent to us, as a whole. Stand up, say something,” she said. “This is your wife, this is your sister, this is your friend, this is your girlfriend, this is the mother of your children. This is all of us. And you are allowing a violent and consistent onslaught on the autonomy of women’s bodies, on women’s rights, on women’s minds, on our hearts, on our souls.
She stressed “no woman should be the loudest voice in the room” and that speaking out is “what doing the right thing looks like.” Then, Rapinoe explained how this one decision impacts many groups of women in different communities. “We know that this will disproportionately affect poor women, Black women, brown women, immigrants, women in abusive relationships, women who have been raped, women and girls who have been raped by family members, who, you know what, maybe didn’t make the best choice, and that’s no reason to be force to have a pregnancy,” she said. “We know that the lack of abortion [rights] does not stop people from having abortions, it stops people from having safe abortions.
Finally, Rapinoe asked everyone to look at this with a warm-hearted mindset that allows people to live with different beliefs. “I encourage people to take a step back and come from a place of compassion and humanity, and understand that just because I believe in something doesn’t mean everybody else has to,” she said. “And we all get to make our own choices, but ultimately we need to come from a place of love, respect and autonomy to do what we feel is best for us.”
