Before Deciding

When our representatives are making important decisions that impact all of our lives I believe it is important to ask one basic question before making
those decisions,
Is this good for
the children?

Just imagine what our world would be like if that question was asked prior to making decisions about going to war, the environment, education or healthcare.

1Commentary by Elaine B. Holtz on the SCOTUS decision to overturn Roe V. Wade after nearly 50 years as precedent for Women's Choice over her own body. She also talks a bit about the history of July 4th and reads what Abigail Adams wrote to her husband John Adams.

Abigail Adams letter to John Adams: Remember the Ladies

---- 

2. Our guest Dr. Harriet Fraad joins our host Elaine B.Holtz in discussing the ramifications of the recent SCOTUS decisions, especially their overturning Roe v. Wade with their majority conservative opinion. They took away Women's Rights, asserted state-control over people's bodies, and took away any protections if it deals with profit. Guns, even military style guns, can be carried anywhere. Rather than policies in place protecting rights people are left to their prayers. The SCOTUS majority are "originalists" despite history changing our country. The 14th Amendment's Due Process Clause with the right to privacy as applied in Roe v Wade was discounted. Sex abuse does not stop. Currently a 12-year-old girl that was raped was ordered to carry the fetus to term, which affects her whole family. Women are in jeopardy in those states with such oppressive anti-abortion laws. 60% of women have less than $400 in savings, making interstate travel prohibitive to another state that does provide legal and safe abortions. SCOTUS with its recent decisions has curtailed the right to make decisions over one's body if you are a woman, the right to breathe with curtailing EPA's mandate, the right to life and peaceful assembly with the proliferation of guns, and the right to be free of Covid infection in the workplace.

About our Guest: Dr. Harriet Fraad is a founding mother Dr. Harriet Fraadof the Women’s Liberation Movement in New Haven CT and has been an activist for her entire life. She is a mental health counselor and hypnotherapist in practice in New York City. Along with being a founding member of the feminist movement and the journal Rethinking Marxism, for 40 years, she has been a radical committed to transforming US personal and political life. Harriet specializes in speaking and writing about topics in which psychology and economics overlap, as these topics remain loaded with taboos, confusions, ignorance, and fear preventing us from asking big questions and daring to discuss big answers. By analyzing issues where psychology and economics collide, we can better analyze our society and our individuality as well.

Philadelphia’s July Fourth, 1876 celebration kicked off the nation’s one-hundredth birthday celebration to large, enthusiastic crowds. Among those in the city for the festivities was the National Woman’s Suffrage Association (NWSA), an organization founded in 1869 to advocate for a constitutional amendment insuring women’s right to vote. The NWSA planned to participate in the Centennial event by presenting their “Declaration of Rights of the Women of the United States” to the nation.
Declaration of Rights of the Women of the United States - July 4, 1876. This declaration was written by Susan B. Anthony, Matilda Joslyn Gage and Elizabeth Cady Stanton on behalf of the National Woman Suffrage Association (NWSA).

Despite hostility and ridicule, the Women’s Declaration said, “We, therefore, women of the United States of America, do solemnly publish and declare that we are by nature, and of right, ought to be by law, free and independent citizens, possessing equal political power with our brother men.
