I'm almost 70 years old. It's so frustrating to see that my granddaughter's generation are going to have to fight, all over again, for the basic human rights that my generation already fought for and won. They're fighting against a fascist movement that is organized, violent and led by the wealthiest men in the world.
I shouldn't have to be a "bitch" to be able to walk safely down the street at night, to be paid fairly and have equal access to jobs, education and healthcare and to be treated with respect. But here we are, again. Isn't it really the men who are being bitches?
I didn't even touch on the basic bodily autonomy rights that AFAB people in the United States are losing. It's disgusting.
The right to terminate a pregnancy - for medical reasons or otherwise - is such a normal part of life here in Canada, I can't imagine going without it. I have health issues that make pregnancy risky, so when I had a brief moment of thinking I might be pregnant I made sure to look up the local clinic just in case I'd need it. Just to know I had the option nearby, whether my spouse and I decided to keep it or not.
Wound up not being pregnant so it was a moot point, but it was a huge comfort to know that I had the option available if it was needed!
How many women and girls are dying in the States because doctors are afraid to help them through a partial miscarriage or extreme complications until they're almost too far gone to save?
