社评  0627 堕胎案令美国两极化

堕胎案令美国两极化


上週五美国最高法院做成裁决推翻半世纪前有关女性堕胎合宪权的罗素韦德案 并裁定女性堕胎并非宪法赋予之权利 此决定立即导致堕胎在许多州是属非法


最高法院是以六对三票裁决堕胎并非宪法赋予之权利 将是否允许之权利交由各州来决定 预计将有数百万妇女失去了服务之途径


欢心鼓舞的反堕胎人士认為是一次重大胜利 数以千计的婴儿生命得救 拥护堕胎者认為女性倒退了五十年


拜登总统稍后在白宫表示 高院之裁决对法院和这个国家来说是悲哀的一天


在十一月份的中期选举 民主党希望因此得到更多女性之选票 激起对共和党之反抗 他们希望堕胎制定為联邦禁令 将可能是两党下一轮的斗争


当疫情及物价继续不断造成之社会问题 我们看见在加州大城洛杉磯及旧金山街头不断涌进之流浪汉及无业游民搭蓬為家 街上一片混乱 精神病患到处游走 看了后真是令人痛心 这还是美国吗 当记者访问市长要求答案时 他们两手一摊 不知所云


堕胎案再次反应了我们是一个国家居住在不同的世界 美国已经是个分裂的民族群体 各自拥有不同的信仰价值 质得当政者深思



The Impact Of Abortion Rights


The impact of the U.S. Supreme Court’s historic ruling on Friday that struck down a 1973 legal precedent-setting court decision known as Roe vs. Wade was felt immediately with at least 10 states effectively banning abortion as of Saturday night. Another 5 states are expected to enact varying “trigger laws” limiting abortions in coming weeks. In all, 26 states have laws in place that indicate they could outlaw abortion.


The Supreme Court ruled by a 6-3 vote that abortion is not a constitutional right and that it is up to the states to decide whether the right will be allowed or not. It is expected that millions of women will lose access to the service. Anti-abortion groups consider this is a great victory for their cause.


President Biden later said in the White House that this is a sad day for the Supreme Court and the country.


The Democratic Party hopes to get more women’s votes to provoke resistance to the Republican party in the upcoming mid-term elections in November.


Since the pandemic and inflation have continued to affect the country, we have seen a large influx of many homeless people to the streets of Los Angeles and San Francisco. The streets are now in widespread chaos with mental patients wandering all around. It is very sad to see this happening. “Is this our country, the United States of America?” was a question asked by a reporter to the mayor of a large U.S. city during an on-air interview. The mayor could not come up with an answer.


The abortion issue really is one of our country’s most pressing social problems. We are really a country that lives in two different worlds with completely different beliefs and values and now we have become a deeply divided nation of two separate communities.


We urge President Biden to turn more of his attention on our domestic issues such as homelessness, mental health and the hunger issue. These are fundamental human rights of our citizens that should not be ignored.
