Katy Jewitt tells her compelling cancer story, how an abortion saved her life. It’s real.
Katy Jewitt tells us her compelling story of how having cancer caused an abortion from an unexpected pregnancy saved her life.
“Watch the speech at 36:25,” said Daniel Cohen, President of Indivisible Houston. “You have to have Katy Jewett on your show. Again, have to!”
Daniel did not have to tell me I needed to have Katy on the show. Katy’s message, passion, and truth made it necessary. Katy gave the crowd gathered at the Federal Courthouse in Houston, Texas, their marching orders.
Ms. Jewett visited us for a more in-depth conversation on the meaning of the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade. One must listen to her story.
Katy has metastatic breast cancer. The type that she has responds hormonally. In other words, an elevated estrogen level will cause the tumors to grow faster. Pregnancy is a danger to her health. A few years ago, she got pregnant, and the condom broke. She got pregnant. The doctor and her G.P. recommended an abortion. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court’s overturning Roe v. Wade would make her ability to get an abortion impossible in some states. In other words, those states would have sanctioned her death.
Katy did not want her abortion deemed a good abortion because it was medical reasons. She is adamant that abortions must not classify abortions as good versus wrong abortions. It is a woman’s body, and she should have all rights to it. There is no place for the government to get involved.
An activist patriarchal Supreme Court overturned women’s Rights to their own bodies.
It is official. The Supreme Court has taken a right away from women. Ironically it is from a court-appointed by presidents who did not win the popular vote.
The New York Times reported it as follows:
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court on Friday overruled Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion after almost 50 years in a decision that will transform American life, reshape the nation’s politics and lead to all but total bans on the procedure in about half of the states.
The ruling will test the legitimacy of the court and vindicate a decades-long Republican project of installing conservative justices prepared to reject the precedent, which had been repeatedly reaffirmed by earlier courts. It will also be one of the signal legacies of President Donald J. Trump, who vowed to name justices who would overrule Roe. All three of his appointees were in the majority in the 6-to-3 ruling.
This is the first time in American history where the right that was affirmed by the Supreme Court was removed. But it gets worse, this ruling gives a Republican Congress the right to make abortion illegal in the entire country. One hopes that most women will see that a vote for any Republican is a vote to give up control of their bodies and a vote for minority rule.
We now live in an America where in the same week that guns gained rights, women lost theirs. Women represent a majority in this country. It is up to them to assert their will over evil patriarchy.
