I know this was announced yesterday, but I woke up still feeling sick to my stomach.

It's absolutely terrifying, but I have hope that it won't be forever. We just have to be the change we want, starting with voting.

I read that some other countries are taking note and working on codifying their abortion laws in the best way, meaning trying to keep it a basic human right.

I'm so heartbroken by this. I mean, while i personally would never have one, i hate that i don't have the right to one if i wanted or needed one anymore. And i fear for what this might mean for women who suffer miscarriages and other medical issues that the fetus is lost. I worry because what if they say that she intentionally lost the child? What then? My husband (he's naïve sometimes) says that that's not an abortion and that they can't prosecute a woman for that, but i feel like they can and will... There were already laws drawn up about that...

@Alorrena:
They shouldn't be able to prosecute, but most likely they will in some places. Like Texas for example where people have had that debate on whether miscarriages should be criminalized for years. There have even been attempts in the past to criminalize it. With Abbot behind the wheel, and getting support, I wouldn't be surprised if miscarriages quickly became illegal there.

@Vampiretaco: Yeah, and that's what's terrifying. Like absolutely terrifying. Most cases women can't intentionally cause miscarriages. Not to mention how many happen before the woman knew she was pregnant in the first place! I worry for our country's women...

      A gun has more rights than I do.
      They want to force me to have a child, so it can spend ten years preparing to become a victim of gun violence at recess.
      Isn't that great?

16 states codified abortion rights before Roe vs Wade was overturned.

      @Totalanimefan: Does your out have a single friend? XD
      Get me one of them to get my ass out this bitch.

      The selfish part of my brain is like "you live in Cali, abortion isn't going anywhere here."
      And the feminist part of my brain is like "yeah, that guy is an idiot, let's burn down the supreme court."
      I honestly just wish I lived alone so I could offer my home up to people who need to come to Cali to get their abortions done.
      I will offer a million excuses to come to California though, a million covers.
      We are a huge state with endless "tourist" spots and things to do as a shield.
      Camping, amusement park, zoos, Hearts Castle, the Golden Gate Bridge, Catalina...
      The possibilities really are endless.
      And for amusement park covers, Knott's Berry Farm is the cheapest option.
      Though with the summer season approaching I'd wager the prices might spike a lil.

      @Totalanimefan: It's a horrible feeling.
      And what's worse is something like this has the potential and is pretty much required to completely destroy HIPAA.
      So to the people who really think this is JUST about abortion...
      It's not, never was.

      @Ruby: It's just a cycle...
      Pissed off... distraction.... reminder.... pissed off.
      Like... A gun has more rights than someone with a uterus right now.
      Which I think means everyone with a uterus should go buy a gun.
      Sounds like a reasonable response to me.

      @Totalanimefan: It's all.... Shit.
      I hate this country so much.
      Like I think the 4th of July fireworks should be set off inside the court and the justices homes.
      Big fireworks, too.
      With great big explosions of color.

      @Totalanimefan: Seriously.
      The only fucking thing I am celebrating on the 4th... Is Steve Rogers birthday. 😁
      Cos [REDACTED] this [REDACTED] ass [REDACTED] country.

      I feel you.
      My emotions are swinging from 'uncontrollable rage' to 'inconsolable sadness'.
      I just keep thinking about all people this ban will kill.
      Because they're not protecting anyone or anything.
      I saw a post about someone who'd worked in a senor living home, and talking to the 70-90 year old women who had to survive before Roe v Wade.
      Some of them said "I told my husband 6 kids was enough, but he wouldn't listen. So I started throwing them in the river."
      Another who said her best friend helped her deliver the baby and she doesn't know what the friend did with it, but they never spoke of it again.
      One who said she left the baby in the woods.
      It's just... These things are going to return now.
      Back alley abortions, self-induced abortions, murder (by the father or parents or religious leaders, etc), suicide...
      Then the abandoned babies for the ones too afraid to risk their own lives for an abortion.
      There will be a severe uptick in newborn babies found in rivers and lakes, in dumpsters and gutters, in public toilets...
      This ban is literally not going to save a single life, but it will kill thousands.

Idk if you've seen that tiktok that's like "Oh no, I'm not a woman, I'm an AR-15 XD" or not, but unironically, guns have more rights in this country than women have had in a long time and it's got me majorly black pilled.

@Anarchist Beauty: I am absolutely on board with this! Every uterus-having individual should protect themselves as best they can. We obviously can't rely on the government to help us as much as we thought.

      @keeksy: We clearly can not.
      And that's what the second amendment is all about right?
      Protection and resistance of oppression?
      Well, I'm feeling pretty oppressed with this law condemning my entire gender to forced child birth.
      Bet if there was a mass movement of women buying guns, those would get regulated next.
