THE WOMENS BODILY PROTECTION ACT

Written On June 5, 2026

ON the 24^th of June 2022 the United States Supreme Court overturned the case of Roe v. Wade in which ensured a woman’s right to terminate a pregnancy under the protection of the 14^th Amendment of The United States Constitution.

Effectively sending the issue of abortion back to the states, what kicked off in the wake of the ruling was states such Texas, Tennessee, Idaho, Mississippi, and many more to issue complete bans on Abortion and access to fair and safe treatment. If not bans that were already written and took effect right after.

In a recent medical journal published on YAMA finds that in states with abortion bans –especially bans at or before 6 weeks –patients experiencing miscarriages are less likely to receive the medically recommended treatment.  Even though the basic standard of treatment for a miscarriage is found to be withheld, it is found that the two best practices for this management include a two-drug combination of mifepristone and misoprostol. But in Abortion ban states that means patients are less likely to receive this regimen while others were given misoprostol by itself making it less effective and carries way more side effects.

The medical journal goes on to give light that doctors have become more hesitant to provide treatment due to it overlapping with abortion procedures. According to data collected there has been an increase of percentage points of just 2.8% of patients being told to simply “Wait it Out”, but delays in such treatment can increase the risks of infection and emotional distress.  But this also affects all levels of pregnancy related care, according to the study’s lead author Dr. Maria Rodriquez “Pregnancy care is a continuum” that when one part of the service is restricted another act of medical care is also restricted.

Yet the study is a small fraction of reality, as it only uses those with private insurance and effectively excluding Medicaid Patients, and Uninsured Patients, it’s in this group of people that make a large sum of shared pregnancies, which means the effect is greater then what’s under the microscope of researching.

But legal battles over the medicated abortion is intensifying, even though the United States Supreme Court blocked a ruling that would have restricted the mailing of mifepristone, several states (Oklahoma, Missouri, Florida, Louisiana) are pursuing new restrictions that could further limit the care for miscarriages. Researchers warn that the consequences of these restrictions is not only gonna get worse but have far-reaching effects not only on the treatment of miscarriages but on reproductive healthcare overall.

 Yet there are questions to be answered; rather we are acting in the most humane way towards humanity’s prosperity?, Taking in mind that we will lose woman this way or scare them into not wanting to have children therefore risk a declining birth rate, or is the religion and beliefs of others more important than what experts have concluded and agreed to? Or maybe the fragility of modern masculinity and its ego to control the lives of woman they so claim to love?

These are the questions we as humanity, and as nation must answer with the barest of truth, and by the enamel of our teeth and until we do we are writing either the story of how the human male destroyed a woman’s dignity or the decline of human birth.
