I think at the same time we have to understand why others are freaking out. As a woman if I lived in America I would not be comfortable knowing that should I get pregnant in the future, and have complications that need an abortion I might not have that option. It's very easy for some people to say the world hasn't changed but what they are really saying is their world hasn't changed. Many other people are uneasy and worrying about how their world may be changing shortly. Even if it's not policy changes they are worrying about how this affirms some people's sexist or racist ideas and how that will play out in their day to day lives.
