Part 3
Luckily, we weren’t, so we didn’t have to go through with it. But any woman who is sitting here, reading this message that has had an abortion for any reason:
I hear you.
I’ll never know what it’s like to have an abortion, due to the fact that since the Supreme Court ruling, I have decided to have my tubes tied to prevent any further pregnancies. Unless my state wants to decide that I no longer have that right also, that is. Which is a decision that my state now has the right to make since the overturning of Roe v. Wade. I won’t sit here and act like I do fully understand. But I do know that it is my right as a woman to make that decision for myself. It is my children’s rights, as future woman living in the United States, to make that choice for themselves. Sadly, that right has been stripped away from them now.
We will fight, we will protest. We will shout it until our throats are sore that we are woman, and we have rights!
I am with you. I stand with you. I hear you. And I see you.
