With the overturning of Roe v. Wade I can’t help but think of all of the women quietly affected by this.
It’s just incredibly sad to me to think of all the scared women out there who now have yet another obstacle to overcome. When I got my abortion, the process was easy and reassuring. I felt safe and secure in my decision and it was handled as a priority- taken care of in less than two weeks. Had I been forced to carry my baby to term, both the baby and I would have faced financial hardship and unnecessary stress that could’ve resulted in physical and mental defects. I would’ve been forced into a lifestyle I was nowhere near ready for and that baby would have been sentenced to life with an unprepared mother. I did the best thing for me by having the abortion and I mourn for the women who have lost that ease of access to something that is necessary.
Same.
