"we like young women because biologically, that means they're fertile"
then why do you find periods disgusting? those are the single most indicative sign of fertility. by that logic, you must be incredibly attracted to a women who speaks openly about her period, right?

holistic womb healing tip:
aim to keep your womb warm by avoiding or limiting the amount of cold you put into your body and replacing it with warm foods + liquids. this increases blood flow to the uterus and aids in fertility! even if you're not trying to get pregnant, on a spiritual level, having a fertile womb allows you to naturally magnetize the things that you want in life with ease.

I'm all for women choosing to not have kids but y'all need to stop demonizing fertility, or acting like mentioning it as a part of women's health is a problem.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D) signed a law on Monday that adds crucial protections for LGBTQ+ couples using fertility treatments to build a family.
The Michigan Family Protection Act includes a series of provisions to protect families of all kinds. Most notably for the LGBTQ+ community, it changes “outdated state law to treat LGBTQ+ families equally and eliminate the need for them to go through a costly and invasive process to get documentation confirming their parental status,” as a press release from the governor’s office explains, adding that “Even if they move to a state that does not respect these basic rights, these bills help ensure they cannot be denied their relationship to their child.”
The law also repeals a law that made Michigan the only state in the country to criminalize surrogacy contracts; increases protections for surrogates, parents, and children; ensures equal legal treatment of children born through surrogacy and assisted reproduction; and streamlines the process for families to establish legal connections to their children.
“The Michigan Family Protection Act takes commonsense, long-overdue action to repeal Michigan’s ban on surrogacy, protect families formed by IVF, and ensure LGBTQ+ parents are treated equally,” Gov. Whitmer said in a statement. “Your family’s decisions should be up to you, and my legislative partners and I will keep fighting like hell to protect reproductive freedom in Michigan and make our state the best place to start, raise, and grow your family.”
Stephanie Jones, founder of the Michigan Fertility Alliance, called the legislation “an incredible victory for all Michigan families formed through assisted reproduction, including IVF and surrogacy, and for LGBTQ+ families.”
The press release also acknowledged the attacks on reproductive rights taking place across the country, most notably the 2022 overturning of Roe v. Wade and the 2024 Alabama Supreme Court’s declaration that embryos created through IVF have the same legal rights as children.
“As other states seek to restrict IVF, ban abortion, and make it harder to start a family, Michigan is supporting women and protecting reproductive freedoms for everyone,” the release stated.
One fierce advocate, Tammy Myers, has been fighting for the decriminalization of surrogacy in the state for the past four years. She told 7 Action News, “The tipping point, I think, is seeing that rights are being taken across the nation and we all need to fight for reproductive freedom.”
Polly Crozier, director of family advocacy at GLBTQ Legal Advocates & Defenders (GLAD), added in a statement, “Michigan has shown us what strengthening families should look like in 2024: making it more possible for people to fulfill their dreams of building a family and more accessible for all families, including LGBTQ+ families, to obtain the safety and stability that comes with legal parentage.”
“Amid efforts to restrict Americans’ reproductive freedom and roll back protections for LGBTQ+ people and their families, the Michigan Family Protection Act is an inspiring example for other states where gaps in parentage laws leave families vulnerable.”

Anyone remember how in Mass Effect 2 it's revealed that Miranda hooks up with rabdom men from dating apps, with the explicit purpose of getting pregnant and never seeing them again?
The Doylist explanation for this is obviously that this is Mass Effect and the writers either didn't know, or didn't think about artificial insermination. Like Miri babe, you can entirely skip paying for tinder gold and just use your exorbitant salary as an unethical scientist/assassin working for the proud boys, to have a livensed professional get you pregnant in the sort of strictly business relationship you're looking for.
However, for a Watsonian explanation, I think it's much more funny to imagine Miranda just has a huge breeding kink she refuses to acknowledge as such; and the reason you never see her drink is because she knows she will start rambling about how every woman secretly desires to spend her whole life pregnant and make everyone uncomfortable.

Last month’s Alabama Supreme Court ruling on IVF was a huge blow to reproductive healthcare. 
Between IVF decisions at the state-level in Alabama and subsequent actions by the U.S. Congress, here’s a reminder that elections have consequences — and your VOTE is your VOICE.
This year, as many as 13 states may have reproductive healthcare-related measures on their ballot. Make sure you’re registered to vote NOW, then remind three friends to check their registration, too at weall.vote/register.

the abortion debate really shows how many people judge others worth based on their ability to have a child. i cannot comprehend how people have come back to the old arguments of "if you don't have a child you're a bad person and selfish!!!" or "a woman first's duty is to her children (or potential to have a child) no matter what!!!". how did we get here. HOW

^^^ Be careful how you word things in Alabama!
Be even more careful how you vote. The only way to protect reproductive freedom is to Vote Democratic.
Spending all your rent money at a casino is a better bet than voting for a third party. At least at the casino you have a remote chance of success.

short vs. long luteal phase
did you know that your luteal phase is a key indicator for fertility? in a healthy cycle, your luteal phase (which happens right after ovulation) is between 10-17 days. it's important that you are experiencing your luteal phase in its ideal range for womb health regulation, which is responsible for your ability to magnetize + manifest.
Tumblr media
a short luteal phase is less than 10 days, meaning that your bleed phase begins less than 10 days after ovulation. having a short luteal phase puts you at risk for infertility + miscarriages because the uterine lining isn't think enough to sustain an embryo.
a long luteal phase is more than 18 days. having a long luteal phase can be associated with hormonal imbalance, such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) — a leading cause of infertility.
