  1. @CharJTF Oh, I’m sorry—but I’m so glad you were able to access the care you needed. Some ppl do pregnancy rly well. Some ppl don’t. & like you, some do pregnancy rly well—until that minute they don’t. Which means each of us must be free to choose whether or not we wish to risk our health, our careers, our education, our financial security, our relationships, our bodies, our futures, our lives. 😔 #AbortionIsEssential

  2. I couldn’t afford a pregnancy (much less another child), nor was there any way I could physically handle pregnancy or childbirth.

    But most importantly, I didn’t WANT to.

    & no one—including me, including you—should be forced to grow & bear unwanted babies.
    No one.
    NO ONE.

  7. This is not a child. About a quarter of Americans will insist to you that it is, because they think that’s an effective strategy for stripping human rights from more than half our population, but underneath their lies, they know. We all know. This. Is. Not. A. Child. #ProChoiceIsProLife #AbortionIsAHumanRight #AbortionIsEssential

  8. But the following poem--written by a fellow adoptee--sums up my feelings on the subject beautifully.
    "If she had aborted me, her life would have been free
    of the hard pit inside her
    the secret of me.
    And I would have been free to become a flower, a lizard, a redwood tree."

    Not every egg must become an embryo. & not every embryo must become a person. That's reality. That's life. & that's OK. #AbortionIsEssential #ReproductiveRightsAreHumanRights /end

  9. I’ve always wondered how much you have to hate children to wish them born to ppl who don’t love or want them. #ProChoiceIsProLife #AbortionIsEssential #AdopteeVoices

  10. It’s not a decision to judge OR to attempt to control. Whether a pregnancy is a risk to life/health or not. Some ppl get pregnant accidentally—& SIMPLY DON’T WANT TO GROW & BEAR A CHILD. That’s a valid a reason for #abortion. Pregnancy, childbirth, parenthood—they’re all HUGE. Only the pregnant person knows whether they’re up to them or not. It’s their decision. Mind your own damn business. Period. #AbortionIsEssential

  11. & feel free to steal the chart I posted, bc clearly, anti-choice lunatics don't have 1 tiny clue about fetal development.

    That, or they're just massive liars. /end

  12. Just a reminder that human tissue & human being are two different things, & the latter should ALWAYS prevail. ALWAYS.

    Also, as a side note, this doesn’t care whether it grows into a person or not. If it’s aborted, it’ll never know the difference, as it’s the size of a blueberry & doesn’t yet have a brain.

  13. This makes me literally sick to my stomach. They’ve somehow managed to survive the violence of rape only to have their governments violate them a 2nd time. When I tell you I would drive off a bridge before I brought my rapist’s baby into the world, I’m not being hyperbolic. #ForcedBirthIsViolence #AbortionIsEssential #ProChoiceIsProLife houstonchronicle.com/news/hous

  18. "During Satton’s pregnancy, she said doctors at OU Health agreed she would need an abortion & should receive care since her health was at risk.

    That’s when her family was told something they didn’t want to hear.

    'They told him they couldn’t touch me until I was crashing & that we should wait in the parking lot until I was about to die,' said Statton." kfor.com/news/federal-complain #misogyny #patriarchy #AbortionIsHealthcare #AbortionIsEssential

    Thank you for sharing! As an adoptee who is also pro-choice, I identify with this. While I have never had an abortion, I have taken the morning after pill twice. I have gone with friends to support them to get an abortion.

  20. 6/6 another person’s LITERAL labor.

    I'm a pro-choice adoptee. I'm pro-choice, pro-health, pro-sex, pro-family & pro-life. I am NOT a tool for anti-choicers & their twisted agenda. /end

  21. #Republican #Indiana AG sues hospital over #abortion for 10-year-old #child who was #raped

    The suit centers on Dr. Bernard publicly talking about, but not naming the patient in, the procedure she performed in late June 2022.

    A stmnt provided by an #IU Health spox said the hospital system holds itself accountable every day for securing the #privacy of its patients.

  22. The #lawsuit, filed in #Iowa District Court for Polk County, seeks a temporary #injunction. If it is granted, the #law would be blocked while the #legal challenge plays out in the court system.

    In a phone call w/reporters, the groups filing the suit said the initial hearing in the case was scheduled to occur Friday at 1:30PM local time.

  23. Once it is signed into law, the bill, which
    passed 56-34 in the House & 32-17 in the Senate, will add #Iowa to the wave of #conservative-leaning states — including North Dakota & South Dakota — that have put in place #abortion restrictions since #SCOTUS overturned the constitutional right to an abortion last summer. The Iowa restrictions further limit access to the procedure in the Midwest.

  24. #GOP-controlled #Iowa #legislature votes to #Ban #abortion after about 6 weeks
    
The #legislation was passed during a rare one-day special session called by Gov #KimReynolds (R) for the “sole purpose” of enacting new restrictions on #abortion. Reynolds celebrated the bill’s passage in a statement late Tues & said she will sign it on Fri. “Justice for the unborn should not be delayed,” she said.

  25. I'm not willing to waste my time going back & forth w/ anyone who thinks:
    1. Sex is only for procreation;
    2. Children are punishment for "wanton" behavior;
    3. Women are solely responsible for preventing unwanted pregnancy.

    I'm an adult. I'm a mom who understands the risks & challenges of preg & childbirth & the enormity of parenthood. I know that #ProchoiceIsProlife . If you don't, we don't have anything to argue about. #Abortion #AbortionIsEssential #AbortionRights #AbortionIsHealthcare /end

    The Biden admin will probably #appeal to the #USCourtOfAppeals for the #5thCircuit, & the case could make its way to the #SupremeCourt.

  30. Potter syndrome is a rare condition related to a fetus’s development in the uterus. The syndrome is a result of abnormal kidney growth and function, which affects how much amniotic fluid surrounds the fetus during pregnancy.

    “It makes me angry, for politicians to decide what’s best for my health,” Deborah Dorbert told the Washington Post. “We would do anything to have this baby.”

    The new law – which punishes physicians who violate it with penalties including license revocation, hefty fines and five years or more of jail time – has left the couple angry and frustrated.

  35. A Florida couple is unable to terminate their pregnancy despite their baby being diagnosed with a fatal fetal abnormality called Potter syndrome due to a new Florida law that bans abortions after 15 weeks, except in certain circumstances.

    Doctors have cited the interpretation of the law as the reason for being unable to perform the procedure, leaving the couple with no choice but to bid farewell to their child shortly after the baby is delivered.

    The new law has left the couple angry and frustrated, and the state's Republican governor Ron DeSantis maintains a staunch anti-abortion/pro-forced-birth stance.

    Earlier this month, DeSantis said that he would sign a six-week abortion ban if one passed.

    “We’re for pro-life,” DeSantis said. “I urge the legislature to work, produce good stuff, and we will sign. That’s what I’ve always wanted to do.”
