Parker said with Roe, women in her graduating class were able to become full participants in society. вЂњThese laws will have a devastating impact on low-income women, people of color, immigrants and those who our healthcare system otherwise fails,вЂќ Parker said. Parker also worries about those states that will criminalize crossing state lines and prosecute those aiding and abetting an abortion. She said they will have to find a provider, locate transportation, travel hundreds of miles and incur вЂњhuge expensesвЂќ to cross borders to access the services. They are both a form of violence against women.вЂќ Access to abortionД«eth Parker, class of 1977 and general counsel at Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, said without Roe 36 million pregnant people will no longer be able to easily access abortion. вЂњIt is about taking away women's bodily autonomy. вЂњI think sexual assault and abortion bans are two sides of the same coin,вЂќ Baker said. вЂњWe need to hold him accountable,вЂќ she said.Д«aker, who chairs American Studies at Smith College, said one in five female students experience sexual assault while in college. вЂњWhat the hell are we doing here?

She said the draft argues that the only protected rights are those explicitly stated in the Constitution - rights determined by вЂњslave-holders and property-holding white menвЂќ who вЂњweren't thinking about abortion.вЂќ It also refers to rights that have a long standing protection in U.S. Pulled the politicians from rifling through our underwear draws and that is going away,вЂќ Baker predicted.
