The overturn of Roe V. Wade terrifies me

@marieb3 My DMs are open if you ever want to chat/vent/rage.

@marieb3 I am feeling this too. Not far from you, in FL. The south is not the best place to be. No easy states to access by car. And I keep thinking what if I need an emergency abortion?

@aaacosta09 We were supposed to start trying in September. There is a very severe trigger law going into effect in my state from almost 100 years ago. I am fortunate enough that I have the finances to be able to go to another state or Canada if needed to terminate for medical reasons, but then would I get prosecuted when I came back? There’s no where to even look this stuff up. How is it fair that health care can be treated differently by each state!?

@slaveofgodreturns Same - we live in Texas. I’m more concerned about what happens in an emergency and I can’t even get to another state. Like is the doctor going to let me deteriorate until I’m almost dead to intervene? What qualifies as grave enough to be a danger to the mother’s life?

 

[slaveofgodreturns]

@katrina2017 Yes! This too. I’m in Michigan so our governor has a lawsuit out that is preventing it going into effect, but some hospitals have come out and said that they will be following the old law. So basically it’s just a luck of the draw of what hospital you end up at here.

@katrina2017 This is my concern (in FL) too. What would happen to me in an emergency. What an awful thing to have to think about.

@slaveofgodreturns CA and MA have made it clear they won't cooperate with states that have trigger laws. Not sure if those states are accessible to you. I'm so sorry we live in this reality..

@blessedwith4 CT too.

 

[slaveofgodreturns]

@caringsoul Thank you!

 

[slaveofgodreturns]

@blessedwith4 That is good to know! Thank you so much

@aaacosta09 I can't stop crying. Having a baby is the only thing I've ever really wanted, and I've already waited so long. Now I don't think I will ever be able to afford to try. I can't make a safe choice to have the children I so desperately want because of a political game from a bunch of old white men who already have everything and couldn't just let us have this. They have to control everything. We are slaves.
