I said to my wife "Do you think anyone will commit suicide because they could not get an abortion?"
She instantly replied "yes."
Then she added "there will be all those boyfriends and husbands that murder them because they couldn't get one too" and that shook my fucking world.
Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
@andymalum@jaz_fu @mschristopher13 @clairewillett I was not saying that ICE is helpful, I was sharing an article I found that stated why ICE was there(at least in the beginning) which was not to tear families apart, in this particular instance, but to try to save kids. I absolutely agree with you, ICE needs to be disassembled.
@ZacharyZiggurat @mschristopher13 @clairewillett I absolutely agree, I was just sharing what I found. That they were not there originally for their usual horrible actions.
@WhatoReadToday @clairewillett Someone posted this from an article, it looks like it was only one agent there to actually help! Not to destroy families for once
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.
