“you don’t owe anyone anything” is for, like, trauma survivors learning to care about themselves for the first time or whatever. it’s not for you when you’re an Awful Friend
I've seen no fewer than 15 Black women post about matching to OB/GYN this week, which is such a gift to our society given the horrific state of maternal mortality in America. These brilliant doctors are going to keep so many women safe throughout their careers.
This is Cherise Doyley.
She was 12 hours into labor when a nurse told her to cover up with a bedsheet.
Then a tablet appeared at her bedside.
On the screen: a judge. Lawyers. Hospital staff.
She hadn’t asked for a hearing. The hospital had.
Doyley is a professional birthing doula. She refused a C-section — she’d had three before, and one left her hemorrhaging. She knew the risks.
It didn’t matter.
And here’s the part people should pay attention to.
The state filed an emergency petition. She had minutes to prepare. No lawyer. No advocate.
A three-hour hearing. In the middle of active labor.
A judge decided how she would give birth.
This is the fetal personhood movement, fully realized.
And it’s already happening. To Black women. In Florida.
Read the full @ProPublica investigation.
“A judge decided how she would give birth.
That’s legal right now.
Should it be?

a great tip if you’re packing for a trip is to ignore all the clothes you feel comfortable in and wear on a regular basis and instead bring a long velvet skirt you’ve never worn before that’s slightly too small and doesn’t go with any of your shirts or shoes
In reality, the hideous feminist left's only objection to what is happening here is that NFL cheerleaders are not paid a living wage and are often sexually harassed at the workplace. We literally like and support these women more than y'all do, we see them as workers with rights
@aishadahira this sounds deeper that you probably meant it to but when I started making friends with other type B people my life and friendships became better
