Leading Australian abortion rights advocate Wendy McCarthy says she is enraged that the death of women's rights champion Ruth Bader Ginsburg could lead to a reversal in the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling.

With the death of Justice Ginsburg, Ms McCarthy told SBS News she is"enraged" to think that"we're trading women's rights for a new justice".

"Whatever happens, there will be a groundswell to rewind some of the rights that women have achieved over a very, very long battle over the last 20 years," Ms McCarthy said. is the landmark Supreme Court decision that established a constitutional right to abortion across the US in 1973. "It became the norm for countries to take it to a federal level and legislate access, and to recognise what was the rapidly blossoming women's movement at the time," she said.

"And once you start tampering with it, know the battles will go on forever. It will be easier from their [the justices'} point of view to kill it and start again than to tamper with it." During his 2016 presidential campaign, Mr Trump - who had previously expressed support for abortion rights - made multiple pledges to make it harder to get an abortion.and his second pick, Justice Brett Kavanaugh, all but confirmed the conservatives had the votes to reverse the ruling.

It remains unclear if the Senate will hold a confirmation vote before the 3 November election and how it would respond if Mr Trump lost to Democrat Joe Biden before the vacancy is filled. But Mr Trump has urged the Senate to move quickly and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said there will be a vote on Mr Trump’s nominee, If Roe v. Wade was overturned, the battle over abortion rights would turn to the states.

That means the court could continue to green-light restrictions that would effectively eliminate access to abortion across the US even if Roe v. Wade is not overturned.

Full term abortion is murder. If you think killing the baby is a good thing you’re a cunt. Baby lives matter. Close your legs if you can’t take birth control it’s that easy.

It won't happen. Too many powerful men rely on women getting abortions to solve the problem of their indiscretions.
