I'm posting this in honor of International Women's Day Mar. 8.
Jun. 25, 2022 "Lauren Santo Domingo reminds Ivanka Trump's alleged abortion after Roe v. Wade's overturning": Today I found this article on Marca.com:
Ivanka Trump was seen as the most capable member of the Trump family.
She's considered the most charismatic and admired among Trump's sons and daughters.
However, she never spoke out when her father kidnapped kids at the border, separating asylum seekers from their children.
Ivanka was silent when her parent attacked women during his presidency. She didn't say anything when her dad wanted to spread the election fraud lie across America (until she testified under oath).
Ivanka was silent when Donald Trump incited an insurrection. And now, Ivanka Trump has no words after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
The public opinion first believed Ivanka was a women's champion. Nevertheless, for four years, she never confronted Trump about human and women's rights issues.
Ivanka's alleged abortion:
Women in America reacted after the Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade.
Abortion is not a "divisive issue," the vast majority of people agree about women's right to choose.
However, Lauren Santo Domingo, a former high school friend of Ivanka Trump, tweeted about her alleged abortion.
The now-deleted tweet suggested Lauren Santo Domingo supported and took Ivanka Trump to get an abortion.
"Ivanka Trump you are noticeably quiet today. The high school friends who took you to get an abortion are not."
In October 2020, Ivanka Trump told the world she identifies as "pro-life."
According to Lauren Santo Domingo, Ivanka didn't think that way when both were in high school.
"I respect all sides of a very personal and sensitive discussion... but I am also a mother of three children, and parenthood affected me in a profound way in terms of how I think about these things," Ivanka said at the time.
"I am pro-life, and unapologetically so."
Ethno-Christianism:
Since Ivanka Trump married Jared Kushner, the oldest of the Trump daughters professes Judaism as her religion.
The Jewish scriptures say there are abortion exceptions for rape, incest, or if the mother's life is threatened.
Sharia (Muslim law) also permits abortion for up to 120 days, for rape or incest, if the fetus has a malformation or is not viable, or if the mother's life is threatened.

Jul. 14, 2022 "Jennifer Grey reflects on her abortion post-Roe: ‘I’d always wanted a child. I just didn’t want a child as a teenager’": Today I found this article by David Artavia on Yahoo news:
A few hours after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, Jennifer Grey sat down to talk with the Los Angeles Times. The actress admitted that while she felt “emotional” about the fact that the Dobbs decision means there is no longer a federal constitutional right to abortion, she wasn't surprised.
“Even though I’ve seen it coming, even though we’ve been hearing what’s coming, it doesn’t feel real,” she said of the ruling. “This is just so fundamentally wrong. It is sounding a bell for all women to rise up and use their voice now because we have assumed, since 1973, that our choice was safe and that it was never going to be overturned.”
Abortion rights are personal to Grey, who reflected on her own decision to terminate a pregnancy as a teenager. Grey described it as a “grave decision” that “stays with you” for years. Still, in hindsight, she knew it was the right choice for her.
“I wouldn’t have my life. I wouldn’t have had the career I had, I wouldn’t have had anything,” she said of the decision to end the pregnancy. “And it wasn’t for lack of taking it seriously. I’d always wanted a child. I just didn’t want a child as a teenager. I didn’t want a child where I was [at] in my life.”
Art certainly imitated life around this time, too. In Dirty Dancing, there's a scene where the character Penny (Cynthia Rhodes), a dancer at the resort where Grey's character is staying, has an illegal abortion. The film was set in 1963, before Roe v. Wade was the law of the land.
Looking back, Grey said she was grateful to put a storyline like that out in the world.
“We saw someone who was hemorrhaging,” Grey said of the film. “We saw what happens to people without means — the haves and the have nots. I love that part of the storyline because it was really a feminist movie in a rom-com. It was a perfect use of history.”
Grey, who also writes about overcoming body dysphoria as a young actor in Hollywood, explained that sharing her private life with the world in this way was quite healing for her.
“I grapple with my ability to tell the truth in a way that might hurt anybody,” she said. “Because it is so, so deeply part of my DNA, to not want to hurt people because I want to wish no harm. And to not care what other people think of me, or that I’m disliked or people are angry at me is very painful for me, but it’s almost like the exposure I need to expose myself."
“Before I die, I want to be able to not look to other people for my worth or for my opinion of myself, to not have it be so up for grabs,” she continued. “And so writing the book was real, right in the middle of that struggle of how can I tell my truth and my story, my story, because everyone has a right to telling their story.”
