With access to safe abortion and contraceptives being increasingly restricted, I just wanted to say a big ole happy international women’s day to the massive rise in vasectomies. You love to see it 💃🏻

To all of you who said we were being alarmists when we said Trump being elected president would decimate the United States indefinitely, I offer you a hearty, "FUCK YOU!"

Just some headlines from the past few days:

Fired gay teacher becomes first test of Supreme Court's same-sex marriage ruling (msn.com)

Iowa Republicans pass a new 6-week abortion ban (msn.com)

Man gets life sentence for raping 9-year-old Ohio girl who traveled to Indiana for legal abortion - ABC News (go.com)

We warned you that my-religion-should-give-me-the-right-to-discriminate-against-LGBTQ-people cases would open the door to more rulings to fuck over the queer community. And here's the proof we were right.

Even people with standing appointments for an abortion are fucked over because cowards in Iowa passed legislation at 11 PM to nearly eliminate abortion access in the state.

My mom was a high-risk obstetrics nurse practitioner for decades. She delivered babies from FIVE 8-year-olds. The child in the article was able to travel across state lines to receive a legal abortion, but many other people won't have that ability. We can expect many more children to be forced to give birth because of these evil rulings.

i have been particularly absent from this blog and all of my socials for the past month because i’m positive i’m going to die at the hands of medical racism and malpractice as well as gaslighting from family. i fell pregnant unexpectedly which on one part is my fault but the complications i’m facing this early on are killing me. i’m 6 weeks and a few days and this is not regular morning sickness like i’ve heard of. yes morning sickness has varying degrees of severity. but i have been unable to hold food or liquids down for almost two weeks without immediately regurgitating them. i threw up stomach acid and bile multiple times during the day and night. i’ve lost almost twenty pounds. i’ve been to multiple hospitals in my area. the doctors have just laughed in my face and told me to go home basically. to rest and try to eat crackers. but honestly, what the fuck are saltines going to do for me when i can’t even stomach them?

i live in the southern united states. abortion is completely banned in my state. i have preexisting health conditions that are making this harder on me physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. i was already pro choice/pro abortion. getting one is a last resort but i have never felt so ashamed and alone by almost everyone around me for wanting to preserve my own life over the parasite living in me currently. i almost relapsed last night wanting to feel something other than the lump in my throat and the dizziness i feel when i stand up.

to anyone who supported overturning roe v. wade, fuck you. as a black femme person, i have enough on my plate daily. this overturn is killing black and brown people disproportionately and you do not care. you do not give a singular fuck about people who aren’t cisgender, rich, straight, male, and white. this is not about me not wanting to be a parent. this is about my health, my life. how do you expect me to bring life into this fucked up world when it’s taking mine away?

the past year i have lost so much, but i’d rather live with the grief of an abortion than let another child be in the hands of the system. i’d rather live with myself and that decision than die at the hands of medical racism. i’d rather go through obstacles to take matters into my own hands, than die. and i could die from that as well. this isn’t about responsibility issues.

and to use religion to enforce this upon people, fuck you. if you abide by the bible, wonderful. that’s the religion and doctrine you chose to follow, not me. that religion’s done more harm to me internally than good. it’s abhorrent how black and brown people have constantly fought for reproductive rights for decades just to be handed dust. this country genuinely hates its people. the people hate their own people. i could speak this til i give myself an asthma attack, but who will truly listen?

as a queer woman born and raised at the very bottom of alabama, I cannot even begin to express how horrified I am. please remember that some people do not have the privilege of being able to afford to travel to blue states to get abortions—we are in a sea of red.

this isn’t even just about misogyny and bigotry against women and all people who can get pregnant, this is something much bigger. in his concurring opinion, SCJ Thomas stated that the court should reconsider Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell—the rulings that now protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage. if you still aren’t getting the picture, there is no hope for you.

this is a horrifying attack on bodily autonomy, religious freedom, women and other people who can conceive, queer people, BIPOC, and those not belonging to the upper class (all of which are heavily marginalized subjects/demographics that experience lots of overlap). we can’t just “go to a blue state” or “leave the country.”

I actually do not give a shit about what you believe, this is not up for debate.

If they come for us in the morning, they will come for you at night.

Maria Caulfield, a Tory MP who supported cutting the abortion time limit and voted against buffer zones outside clinics, has been named as minister for women, prompting criticism from charities and women’s rights groups.

Caulfield, the MP for Lewes, was previously an officer of the all-party parliamentary “pro-life” group and voted against legalising abortion in Northern Ireland.

In 2018, when Caulfield was the Tory vice-chair for women, she called for a debate on reducing the 24-week time limit for women to receive legal abortions, describing the 1967 Abortion Act as “one of the most liberal abortion laws in the world”.

She urged her colleagues in the House of Commons to be “wary of greater liberalisation of the law” surrounding abortions, and said having to receive approval from two doctors before terminating a pregnancy protected vulnerable women.
