i don’t have the energy to be a giver anymore. i need someone to show up for me this time. don’t wanna beg for love and attention anymore. don’t wanna give love to someone who can’t give it back. it’s my turn to feel wanted and loved. i’m tired.
You can’t go to work, to the MALL, to the grocery store, to your church, to the movies or the bank.
You can’t attend a concert, go to a dance class or go to see your doctor. You can’t ring a doorbell, use a leaf blower, hop in a car, pull down a driveway, bounce a ball, or ask the neighbor to keep it down.
You can’t check out a farmer’s market or mail something at the post office or go to a parade, and you certainly can’t send your kids to school without worrying that someone will get shot.
That someone you LOVE will get shot.
Or that YOU will get shot.
This is where we are now.
This is not normal.
And this is not fucking ok.
It’s NOT fucking ok.
“To have doctors refuse your care then at the same time tell you your life is in danger is unimaginable.”Mylissa Farmer on @katiephangshow
Yet another woman, water broke too soon. Was told her pregnancy was no longer viable, and turned away from two hospitals.
The first hospital said the law was not clear enough as there was still a heartbeat.
The second hospital said it was too political.
Hospitals are required to perform life-saving emergency care. Mylissa Farmer’s life was in danger. Abortion is medical care.
Now you have hospitals turning women away because they want to avoid the risk of fines and penalties.
Women’s lives should not be politicized. Women’s lives should not be hanging in the balance depending on zip code.
Women will continue to suffer as long as Republicans have their way. #FreshWords
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.
