#Pro Roe

[devotedlyteenagemusic]

so, a group of people who call themselves "abolishinists" came to my hometown from out of state, and showed gory pics of aborted fetuses to a bunch of children all week, and I had the opportunity to go and counter protest them. I was the first one there, but I ran into a group of Satanists from The Satanic Grotto, and became friends with them, and honestly, I had so much fun. I was finally able to do something that felt like I was helping my community in a way that made more of an impact on the people in the city than just writing to our legislation, which trust me, that's real important, like probably more so that this, but the fact that we went all day, and we picked up so many people along the way was just such a cool experience.

Texas has activist MAGA judges playing doctor. They are legislating from the bench.

With the 2024 elections approaching I wanted to share 2 stories about abortion and women’s healthcare. One is mine, and the other belongs to a woman named Amber Thurman.

On September 5th, I received the worst news of my life. I learned that I had had a missed miscarriage which meant that I had lost the child I was carrying but my body thought it was still pregnant.

The doctor told me my body should realize what had happened naturally.

Unfortunately it did not.

Eventually the doctor, worried for my safety, prescribed several pills which were supposed to induce a chemical abortion.

Unfortunately it did not and most of the fetal tissue remained inside my body.

This put me at serious risk of sepsis and further complications that could potentially have cost me my life. I scheduled a fairly routine surgery called a D&C to remove the remaining tissue removed and began trying to rebuild my life.

Amber Thurman was a young woman who lived in Georgia with a 6 year old son and a promising future.

She also took pills to chemically induce a abortion that failed to remove all of the fetal tissue and put her at serious risk of sepsis and further complications.

Unfortunately, after the Supreme Court repealed Roe v. Wade, Georgia passed laws prohibiting Amber and other women from having a D&C. As a result, doctors were too afraid to operate on her until her organs were already failing.

She did not survive.

4 years ago I also lived in Georgia. Which means if my husband and I hadn’t moved I likely would not have survived either.

Women’s healthcare is important and access to these procedures save lives, mine included. As you prepare to vote please remember my story and the story of Amber Thurman and vote for the candidate who believes we should be saved.

The question to women that’s gone viral:

Would you rather be in the woods alone w a man or a bear?

Majority of women said bear.

Why? Because even if it did maul us, the following would happen-

1. We wouldn’t be blamed for the attack

2. We would be believed

3. People would hunt down that bear without giving it a second thought

Soo

Women get 15 years I repeat 15 fucking years in jail for having Illegal abortions, but MEN ONLY GET a year in jail for raping women and killing them.

America is a joke.

An absolute joke.

Who the fuck are you to end someone’s life “for their own good,” before they’ve even had a chance to live it? You can really see into their future and get to decide with your God-like wisdom that they’re better off dead before they’re even born? Who died and made you judge, jury, and executioner? You really look around at people in poverty, or with disabilities, and think to yourself, “damn someone should have ended them a long time ago.” What in the ever-loving arrogant audacity.

📍 Today marks the anniversary of the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, which struck down several Texas laws that criminalized abortion. Roe changed the abortion landscape in the U.S., though it didn’t ensure access for everyone. Roe should have been the floor, not the ceiling for abortion access. As we come up on almost two years since Roe fell, it is hard not to see the same issues resurfacing. In Texas and throughout the country, pregnant people are facing criminalization for their pregnancy choices and outcomes. The reality is the Supreme Court’s decision and the state bans that followed don’t recognize the intricacies of people’s lives and experiences. Abortion bans harm real people and their families.

✊ It’s on us to continue the fight for our rights, not only for us – but for future generations.

Image description: Digital illustration of a diverse group of eight faces. There’s text in the center that reads, ‘abortion is freedom,’ with secondary text scattered throughout the image that reads, ‘from poverty, from a future I don’t want, from a life threatening pregnancy and from the wrong partner.’

I ran across this a year or two ago, before Roe went down in flames. It's been frighteningly, and predictably, accurate.

We truly are all in this together.
