As expected, It New York TimesIt isn’t accepting the Supreme Court’s ruling of Roe V. Wade well. Reporter Julie Bosman made Wednesday’s front page with “Women Fear What More They Might Lose.” The paper didn’t say “Pregnant People.”
The text box also made the front: “Feeling Angry and Sad at the Reversal of Roe.” Bosman piled on the all the resonating feminist anger (and none of the pro-life joy) in a front-page “news” story. It started:
CHICAGO — Many women wept. Others spent the weekend in tears. Burning white hot with rageComplementary time with sisters, mothers and friends. Many felt fearful and recognized the sense of loss.
Millions of American women spent the past five days absorbing the news that the Supreme Court had overturned Roe V. WadeIt was the end of the constitutional right for legal abortion, which had been protected for more than a half century.
This decision immediately reorganized the lives of all women in the country.
Unborn babies could also have their lives “reordered.”
Bosman, Chicago bureau chief New York TimesHe wondered if the ruling would have reduced women to second-class citizens.
Women who sought abortions in countries where there were no clinics, It was an instant disaster.They could lose their right to an early termination of their pregnancies.

This week’s interviews included dozens of American women supporting abortion rights. They recalled when that moment occurred. Roe had been overturned, and the waves of shock and fury that followed….
Bosman was one of a number of pro-abortion supporters who went through a lengthy line, each one angrier than another.
Still, when the Dobbs ruling was officially released last week, the blow was heavy for Kristen Coggins, a 36-year-old mother of three girls in Charlotte, N.C. She felt a “deep river of anger,” she recalled, “an undercurrent in my body that just couldn’t come to the surface.”
One teacher “expressed her feelings partly by rage gardening.”
It was easy to overlook the irony in abortion advocates taking care of what children believed.
Many women have turned their attention to their children. There is grief, said Destiny Lopez, a reproductive rights advocate in North Carolina, in the realization that “this will now be the next generation’s fight.’’
The ruling only deepened the desire for Yolanda Williams, 42, who runs a parenting podcast, to continue her plans with a group of women to buy rural land in Georgia and live communally with their children….
Bosman ended still harping on the offensive idea of abortion as “protection.”
The fact that she could have her children live without it is more perplexing. ProtectionsThat Ms. Mills experienced as a teenager and in adulthood.
“It took 50 years for them to overturn Roe,” [Claire Mills] said. “How much time do we have to get it back?”
