Discussion Does anyone else feel some weird sick/despair feeling when reading old books referencing Roe v Wade?

Right-Wing Women made me feel sick because she detailed all the horrific cases of women dying due to a time before RvW. And of course we are now back in that time.
Abortion Politics made me feel sad because it started with talking about the prospect of RvW being overturned. Well it did get overturned. Sigh. (And I didn't even start reading this one yet, that was just the front cover and I'm already sad...)
I think I just feel so depressed knowing how much knowledge has been out there, explaining why abortion is necessary, why abortion is healthcare, and yet millions of selfish misogynistic people decide to keep electing representatives that are anti-abortion. It just makes me feel sick and sad and full of despair. I hate this country. 😊
I had this happen to me with two books now. Both old books, Right-Wing Women from the 80s, when Roe v Wade was just decided, and Abortion Politics from the 90s, during a time when the right was arguing over what to do after Roe v Wade.
