background

On June 24, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to ban abortions shocked the world!

The conservative justices of the Supreme Court of the United States (4 men and 1 woman) overturned the ruling of the Roe v. Wade case (Roe v. Wade). In the future, whether women can have an abortion or not, the states of the United States have the final say, and women do not have the right to decide.

1. Attitudes of states in the United States

As soon as the subversive ruling came out yesterday, 13 states rushed to activate abortion bans, with 11 states on the way. And Missouri's attorney general on Friday signed documents immediately after the Supreme Court decision was announced, announcing the state became the first state in the nation to ban abortion.

Some states go so far as to stress that abortion = illegal, even for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.

2. The heavier bomb

As soon as the bill was announced on the 24th, it triggered a "thousand-thousand-thousand-person march" among New Yorkers.

However, the public anger has not subsided. US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas dropped a more heavy bomb. He suggested that the issue of contraceptive legality will be reconsidered next.

Clarence Thomas

Conservative Justice Clarence Thomas said the Supreme Court must revisit and overturn landmark decisions of the past, such as the right to contraception (1965), the right to same-sex intimacy (2003) and the legalization of the right to same-sex marriage (2015) years) etc.

3. The fragmentation of American society

With the fermentation of the incident, the views of all walks of life in the American society are mainly divided into two factions.

Opposition ...

One is the opposition to the abortion ban, represented by current US President Joe Biden. On the 24th, Biden said: "This verdict is a manifestation of extreme ideology." On the 25th, the White House announced that Biden is considering an executive order against the abortion right ruling, but still respects the Supreme Court.

Supporters

The other group is the conservative faction represented by former President Trump, who has clearly sided with the abortion ban. Trump applauded the ruling and took credit for the result. "Today's victory is because he sent three conservative justices to the Supreme Court during his tenure," Trump said.

The U.S. Supreme Court is the highest judicial level and highest judicial organ in the U.S. court system. According to the "U.S. Supreme Court Case Report", which began to issue official compilations in 1882, the precedents in it are binding on the court and serve as the basis for hearing similar cases. Therefore, the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to ban abortion is undoubtedly far-reaching, exacerbating the fragmentation of American society.

As an ordinary individual, the editor believes that this resolution of the US Supreme Court is a "reversal" in history, and to a certain extent, deprives women of their right to reproductive freedom. However, as a cross-border person, I saw some new changes in the cross-border market in this event that affected the history of the United States, and made an inductive analysis of the categories that may be affected.

4. Affected cross-border categories

01 Contraceptives

Although the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against abortion, Justice Clarence Thomas also mentioned that the right to contraception may be overturned. Once the relevant ban takes effect, the sales of contraceptives and condoms in the US market will definitely be affected. restricted or even prohibited.

Therefore, if there are sellers of contraceptive products, they should pay attention to the news in the United States at any time, plan ahead, and adjust the inventory, category direction, sales plan, etc. Of course, it is not ruled out that the American people frantically snapped up a wave of purchases before the possible "contraceptive ban" came into effect.

02 Women's self-defense tools

The editor noticed that some states in the United States emphasize that abortion = illegal, even if it is a pregnancy caused by rape or incest. Such a statement makes people feel incredible. Thinking from another angle, would you be willing to have a child for a rapist who violated you? The answer is definitely no.

In most cases, women are weaker than men in terms of strength. Therefore, it can be predicted that in the near future, more and more American women will be equipped with self-defense tools to protect their personal safety. There are many products worthy of attention in women's self-defense tools, such as anti-wolf pepper water, alarm keys, and anti-harassment alarms.

03 Maternal and child products

Although there is a lot of controversy about this ruling in the United States, according to the latest situation, many states in the United States will likely implement the ban on abortion, which means that there will be many newborns and new mothers (although not necessarily voluntary) in the next few years . ), this group of people will drive new growth in the maternal and infant product market.

The maternal and infant market has always been a major category of the cross-border market. In the future, as the number of newborns in the United States increases, more cross-border sellers will enter this category. It is worth noting that many of the new mothers affected by the ruling will be single mothers, and sellers interested in this segment can consider early admission.

V. Conclusion

Finally, I conclude with a statement from the United Nations. A spokesman for the UN Secretary-General said: "Reproductive rights are an important part of women's rights. Restricting abortion will not stop people from pursuing it, it will only make it more dangerous. Please respect women's rights!"
