today, i’m devastated, angry, and confused.
the ruling to overturn roe vs. wade is the beginning of what will be a very dark history for women’s rights. not only is this a disgusting step backward for reproductive healthcare, it deliberately puts the lives of all women at risk. you did not ban abortion, you banned access to SAFE abortion. this ruling tells women – specifically young women – that our bodies do not belong to us. my heart is broken for girls and women around the country who will now be subjected to forced pregnancy. and my heart breaks further because sadly, it will not stop there. it has been suggested, in a concurring opinion, that the supreme court should reconsider griswold, lawrence, and obergefell — the rulings that currently protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage. they are coming for the freedoms that so many before us fought so hard for. now, the fight is ours. i stand in solidarity with everyone who is affected by the catastrophic decisions being made on our behalf. on behalf of our bodies. we will not stop until the choice is ours. stay loud, stay urgent, do whatever you can – plan to vote.
