Wade<\/em> and Planned Parenthood v. Casey, effectively kicking abortion restrictions back to the states.<\/p>\n<p>The SCOTUS decision, Rapinoe said at a U.S. Women\u2019s National Team (USWNT) media event on Friday, \u201ccertainly\u201d doesn\u2019t keep \u201cone single child safer,\u201d nor does it \u201ckeep one single, inclusive term, woman safer.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The athlete went on to say that it\u2019s hard to describe how \u201cdifficult it is to live in a country where you have a constant, unrelenting, violent tide against you, and onslaught as a woman. And it would be as a gay person, as a nonbinary person, as a trans person, whoever this is going to affect, because it affects a lot more than just women, or \u2018cis-women.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The verbal gymnastics seemed consistent throughout her comments: \u201cThere are an infinite amount of reasons why a woman chooses to do what she does with her body,\u201d Rapinoe said, before adding plural or \u201cgender neutral\u201d pronouns, \u201cor what they do with their body.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Seeming to undercut her gender-neutral language, Rapinoe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/sports\/roe-v-wade-megan-rapinoe-decision.amp\">reportedly<\/a> said men are \u201callowing a violent and consistent onslaught on the autonomy of women\u2019s bodies, on women\u2019s rights, on women\u2019s minds, on our hearts, on our souls.\u00a0We live in a country that forever tries to chip away at what\u00a0you\u00a0have enabled, at what\u00a0you\u00a0have been privileged enough to feel your entire life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The forward looked to be reading off notes and opened her comments with a shaky voice and tears\u00a0 in her eyes. \u201cI wish that we could just talk about soccer today,\u201d she said, \u201cbut obviously with the ruling on <em>Roe v. Wade,<\/em> that takes precedence over everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rapinoe, an award-winning female athlete herself, made waves on Sunday when she <a href=\"https:\/\/time.com\/6188583\/megan-rapinoe-equal-pay-title-ix-transgender-sports-bans\/\">told<\/a> Time magazine she is \u201c100% supportive\u201d of \u201ctrans inclusion\u201d in girls sports, dismissing concerns about fairness and emphasizing that people \u201cneed to understand that sports is not the most important thing in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would also encourage everyone out there who is afraid someone\u2019s going to have an unfair advantage over their kid to really take a step back and think what are we actually talking about here,\u201d she said. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about people\u2019s lives. I\u2019m sorry, your kid\u2019s high school volleyball team just isn\u2019t that important.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rapinoe argued that not many girls have been shortchanged by transgender athletes, yet, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShow me the evidence that trans women are taking everyone\u2019s scholarships, are dominating in every sport, are winning every title. I\u2019m sorry, it\u2019s just not happening,\u201d she said. \u201cSo we need to start from inclusion, period. And as things arise, I have confidence that we can figure it out. But we can\u2019t start at the opposite. That is cruel. And frankly, it\u2019s just disgusting.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to really kind of take a step back and get a grip on what we\u2019re really talking about here because people\u2019s lives are at risk,\u201d Rapinoe added. \u201cKids\u2019 lives are at risk with the rates of suicide, the rates of depression and negative mental health and drug abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"'Sad and cruel': Megan Rapinoe holds back tears as she speaks on Roe v Wade ruling\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8qfUjDlgxOI\" width=\"680\" height=\"382\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Related:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/megan-rapinoe-tells-girls-parents-to-suck-it-up-over-trans-athletes-your-kids-volleyball-team-just-isnt-that-important\">Megan Rapinoe Tells Girls, Parents To Suck It Up Over Trans Athletes: \u2018Your Kid\u2019s\u2019 \u2018Volleyball Team Just Isn\u2019t That\u00a0Important\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Progressive activist and soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe went off on a rather confusing rant about \u201cinclusive term\u201d women\u2019s bodies after a Supreme Court decision on Friday overruled abortion decisions in\u00a0Roe v.
