Pre-Roe, I was 8 yrs old. I came home from school to find my Mom lying in a puddle of blood. She was weak & asked me to call a neighbor. She was miscarrying, but the embryo would not abort. For 48 hours, she bled while doctors transfused blood, waiting. Abortions were illegal.
Friendly reminder that suicide prevention isnβt just saying βhere if you need to talk!β and posting a hotline number. itβs healthcare. itβs housing. itβs adequate social welfare. itβs food security. itβs actually being able to access mental health services quickly.
