     The criminalization of abortion isn't about babies.

     It's about the formation of laws for felony disenfranchisement schemes targeting women.

     The version that was used against black and brown voters was the "War on Drugs" that disenfranchised over 6 million PoC.

     1 in 44 Americans. 2.47% of the population.
