yesterday was rough. honestly, yesterday couldn’t be described as anything less than a nightmare for the women and afab members of american society. this morning, the supreme court of justice (who’s jobs are picking high priority cases and decide whether or not they are constitutional, setting the precedent in all courts) ruled that Roe v. Wade was regarded in the constitution as such “Abortion is a moral issue, not a Constitutional one”. this doesn’t just erase abortions, this erases medical care for women/afab people who are experiencing miscarriages/fetal demises/still-births the large chance for no care until it passes naturally, and criminal prosecution professionals who aid in passing the pregnancy safely. this doesnt just erase abortions, this erases vital care to victims of sexually violent crimes, vital care to citizens escaping abusive situations, vital care to disabled citizen who’s bodies couldn’t handle a pregnancy.
this doesn’t just erase abortions, this erases access to safe abortions.
as of midnight, there is a new generation american citizens who were born with less rights than their mother’s had yesterday. this is terrifying, but this is the most important time to stress that you are not alone. a lot of you have probably heard that a lot now, there are recourse’s available everywhere, hotlines accessible in every spot of the internet, and a least one person in your life who recognizes the right’s we should still have. i am linking resources here- please, i encourage you all to use them if you are ever in the situation where you need help and it isn’t accessible in your state, and even if not, please share them with people who need the help.
