Old Enough to Choose Janet Kuypers started 11/8/22, completed 11/9/22 Reading the headlines, I kept thinking... this cannot be true — But this many headlines in sync cannot be wrong, that a Florida court rules teenager ‘not mature enough’ to have abortion*. This 16-year old parentless girl, working to get her G.E.D., also Explained that her boyfriend cannot support anyone. Her “guardian Is fine with what [she] wants to do,” so she researched this, Even sent hand-written requests for court approval. To which They said no, she is not mature enough to have an abortion... Though apparently this parentless unemployed 16-year-old Is old enough to give up her future to birth and raise a child On her own with no money until she is more than twice her age. # Usually the #1 issue behind voting decisions is the economy; Struggling economic figures and rising prices for food and gas Hurts democrat candidates... so republicans didn’t believe that Abortion rights for women or climate change would be an issue. But voters come out in droves, especially gen Z. Although they Did voice their concerns for the economy, there was a much more Basic moral issue on the ballot... These southern christian republican Men give us more reasons to vote for change once we see the Effects of what the removing of these rights really means for Anyone who is not an old, wealthy, white male.        A man in a Stuffy suit smoking his cigar might feel he has enough sway To decide what is best for women, or the financially challenged, But his choices always hit hardest on minorities (and oddly Enough, in the political world, women become a minority too). Maybe they closed their ears to our protests, thinking they Were on a morally higher ground (a stance that supports Clumps of cells inside a woman, but ignores them once they’re Born — which, come to think of it, is not very christian). Rattling the metal bars they’ve locked us up behind wasn’t Enough, and the last time I checked, stripping away rights Was precisely what the U.S. government was supposed to Stop. Preserving our rights was the key, and not taking a Hatchet to our inalienable rights in the first place. Maybe Voting is only a step, until they realize their “moral” choices Were actually more immoral, and they start to worry about Lives that are actually living. How loud are we forced to roar To get your attention, before you might listen to reason, Re-evaluate your premises, and start supporting the life — The living, breathing, intelligent, vibrant life — That for far too long you’ve chosen to ignore.   * https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/aug/17/ florida-pregnant-teenager-abortion-court https://abcnews.go.com/US/florida-court-rules- 16-year-mature-abortion/story?id=88491662 https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/florida-court- says-teen-not-mature-enough-abortion-rcna43344 https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/florida-judges-rule- teenage-girl-is-not-mature-enough-to-have-an-abortion https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/florida-court-rules- 16-year-old-not-mature-enough-abortion-1397645/
