Roe v. Wade Overturned: How to View it From a Spiritual Perspective
I normally keep my articles on spiritual, relationship, or astrological topics. I try to steer clear of politics as a rule, but sometimes events occur that must be addressed.
Like many Americans, I’m in shock that Roe v. Wade has actually been overturned by the Supreme Court. This landmark case was established decades ago and has been something I have always had the comfort of knowing was my right as a woman. There have been those who disagreed with it but overturning it seemed too inhumane and unconscionable to ever happen.
The inhumane is now our reality and this unconscionable act is potentially one of more to follow.
How can we look at this and not feel anger? Or fear, worry, or grief over the loss of true democracy. The rabid right has now gained power, insidiously at first but now they boldly proclaim their ultra-conservative political views. They are now force-feeding it to the masses, daily.
