Republicans will force a 10 year old to carry her rapist’s baby to term, let a 6 year old carry a gun, permit a 12 year old to work an 8 hour shift in a meat packing plant and allow a grown man to marry a 14 year old with a Judge’s consent, all while telling us that the reason they’re banning drag queens, gender affirming care and books about Rosa Parks is because they want to ‘protect our kids.’
Bullshit.

This is a women’s rights issue. This is a trans rights issue. This is a non-binary rights issue. This is a Black rights issue. This is a disabled rights issue. This is a immigrant rights issue.

I have been married for 8 years today. Still feels like yesterday sometimes. 🥰 I feel so lucky to have spent 14 years with this amazing person. If nothing else is going right at least I got you babe. 😘

Follow along if interested.
As America spends summer celebrating itself, keep in mind that it's the place where children fear for their lives. Racism runs rampant. Transphobia is given a platform. Women's rights are stripped away. Where we won't protect each other during a pandemic. What are we celebrating?
No, we’re not going to the 17th century for women. Abortion fuckery is only possible in the 21st century.
In the 17th century, you weren’t officially pregnant until quickening (aka: when baby grows combat boots & starts tap-dancing on your bladder.)
Suppressed menses, otoh?
