After Donald Trump’s victory in the US presidential election, women have started a movement for abortion rights. According to a CNN report, a section of women has started a protest on social media on the lines of Korea’s 4B movement. The protesting women say that they will neither have relationships with men nor marry them until they get abortion rights. According to the report, women are uploading videos related to the protest on social media platforms Instagram and Tik-Tok. Actually, the US Supreme Court abolished abortion rights in 2022. Then Donald Trump supported this decision. After Trump’s victory, women fear that his return to power will make abortion laws more stringent. Women believe that Republicans will make their access to abortion more difficult. Now know what is Korean movement 4B?
The 4B movement started in South Korea in 2016. It was a movement similar to #MeToo, which talked about equality and rights for women. Starting from South Korea, this movement has reached Asia and now America. During the movement, women started refusing to do four things as a protest. Women are shaving their heads in protest. More than 10 lakh engagements have come on posts related to the 4B movement. While their reach has reached more than 4 crore accounts. In some posts, women have posted videos of shaving their heads. The women doing this say that they will not accept the standards of beauty set by the patriarchal society. Generally, long hair and makeup are associated with the beauty of women. But the protesting women say that they will neither keep long hair nor do makeup. Women believe that Trump is against their rights. During her election campaign, Democratic candidate Kamala Harris made abortion a major issue. While Trump had said that the three judges appointed by him played a major role in the decision against abortion rights in 2022. According to CNN’s exit poll, Trump got 46% of women’s votes. While 54% women voted for Harris. At the same time, 56.5% men voted for Trump. While only 43.5% men voted for Harris. Young women expressed their anger on social media that men supported a candidate who did not respect their right over their own body. Abortion was banned during Trump’s tenure
It was easy and legal to get an abortion in America till 1880. However, in 1873, the US Congress passed the Comstock Law and banned abortion medicines. By 1900, abortion was banned in almost all states. Abortion could be done only when the mother’s life was in danger due to pregnancy. In the 1960s, women started a movement for their rights. In 1969, Norma McCorvey challenged the abortion law. The case reached the US Supreme Court and she won. In 1973, the Supreme Court legalized abortion in the US. But on June 24, 2022, the US Supreme Court overturned this decision. After this, the constitutional protection given to women for abortion also ended. …………………………………………………….
