<p>Progressive activist and soccer superstar Megan Rapinoe went off on a rather confusing rant about &#8220;inclusive term&#8221; women&#8217;s bodies after a <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/united-states-supreme-court-overturns-roe-v-wade-leaves-abortion-restrictions-to-states">Supreme Court decision</a> on Friday overruled abortion decisions in <em>Roe v. Wade</em> and <i>Planned Parenthood v. Casey,</i> effectively kicking abortion restrictions back to the states.</p>
<p>The SCOTUS decision, Rapinoe said at a U.S. Women&#8217;s National Team (USWNT) media event on Friday, &#8220;certainly&#8221; doesn&#8217;t keep &#8220;one single child safer,&#8221; nor does it &#8220;keep one single, inclusive term, woman safer.&#8221;</p>
<p>The athlete went on to say that it&#8217;s hard to describe how “difficult 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 ‘cis-women.’”<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></p>
<p>The verbal gymnastics seemed consistent throughout her comments: &#8220;There are an infinite amount of reasons why a woman chooses to do what she does with her body,&#8221; Rapinoe said, before adding plural or &#8220;gender neutral&#8221; pronouns, &#8220;or what they do with their body.&#8221;</p>
<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 &#8220;allowing a violent and consistent onslaught on the autonomy of women’s bodies, on women’s rights, on women’s minds, on our hearts, on our souls. We live in a country that forever tries to chip away at what <i>you</i> have enabled, at what <i>you</i> have been privileged enough to feel your entire life.&#8221;</p>
<p>The forward looked to be reading off notes and opened her comments with a shaky voice and tears  in her eyes. &#8220;I wish that we could just talk about soccer today,&#8221; she said, &#8220;but obviously with the ruling on <em>Roe v. Wade,</em> that takes precedence over everything.&#8221;</p>
<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 &#8220;100% supportive&#8221; of &#8220;trans inclusion&#8221; in girls sports, dismissing concerns about fairness and emphasizing that people &#8220;need to understand that sports is not the most important thing in life.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I would also encourage everyone out there who is afraid someone’s going to have an unfair advantage over their kid to really take a step back and think what are we actually talking about here,&#8221; she said. &#8220;We’re talking about people’s lives. I’m sorry, your kid’s high school volleyball team just isn’t that important.&#8221;</p>
<p>Rapinoe argued that not many girls have been shortchanged by transgender athletes, yet, anyway.</p>
<p>&#8220;Show me the evidence that trans women are taking everyone’s scholarships, are dominating in every sport, are winning every title. I’m sorry, it’s just not happening,&#8221; she said. &#8220;So we need to start from inclusion, period. And as things arise, I have confidence that we can figure it out. But we can’t start at the opposite. That is cruel. And frankly, it’s just disgusting.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;We need to really kind of take a step back and get a grip on what we’re really talking about here because people’s lives are at risk,&#8221; Rapinoe added. &#8220;Kids’ lives are at risk with the rates of suicide, the rates of depression and negative mental health and drug abuse.&#8221;</p>
