I celebrated Roe V Wade being overturned. I am now being investigated for having a miscarriage.
"The happiest moment in my life was when I said "I do" to my husband seven years ago. My second happiest moment was at the Supreme Court building on June 24, 2022. Seeing an endless sea of happy, cheerful faces, the champagne bottles being popped open, watching as bubbles floated on by, the feeling was electric! Babies were going to be saved!
And then a year later, on June 24, 2023, the third happiest moment in my life occurred. The two faint lines revealed themselves on the pregnancy test. I was pregnant! Finally! After years of hoping, praying, and multiple IVF treatments, I was finally pregnant! Life was perfect. My husband took me out to dinner and he never left my side the whole night. He came home from work one day with a giant book of baby names. It didn't take us long to decide: Ophelia if it was a girl, and Benson if it was a boy.
I thanked the Lord for gifting me with a happy marriage and a baby that I prayed so much for. But the Lord had other plans. August 23, 2023, my world came crashing down. I woke from a deep sleep and was overcome with painful cramps. I looked under the blanket and was horrified by what I saw: A huge puddle of red. I ran to the bathroom and sat on the toilet and I cried. I was having a miscarriage.
My husband woke up and noticed the puddle of blood. I've never seen him look so scared in my life. He hugged me while I sat and bled on the toilet. We then stripped down and got in the shower, where he held me, not caring about the blood running down my legs. I scheduled an emergency doctor's appointment for later in the day. The doctor confirmed our worst fear, I had a complete miscarriage. There wasn't anything more that could be done.
I sat on the table in that cold room while I waited for the doctor to come back with my paperwork. I was completely numb. I had no more tears left to cry. My husband stood by me and held my hand while we waited. And then we heard the knock on the door. We were expecting the doctor to enter. Instead, we were met with a couple of police officers.
My husband and I were escorted to the police station. It was there that we were informed that my miscarriage was deemed suspicious. The officers told us that due to the fact that we lived in a pro-life state, this was the new protocol. My husband and I were each taken to separate interview rooms, where we were questioned for six hours. I was asked a variety of questions:
What did I do the night before miscarrying?
Did I have a fall that could have caused the miscarriage?
Did I intentionally cause trauma to my abdomen to induce a miscarriage?
Did I take abortion pills?
Could my husband have slipped abortion pills into my drink?
At first, I tried to be understanding, but that quickly turned to anger. They were accusing my husband and me of purposefully killing our baby. I told the interviewer over and over that we wanted our baby and that we would do nothing to cause harm to our baby. After six hours, the questions let up. The interviewer left the room and I instantly broke down in tears again.
I cried for the baby I lost. I cried because my husband and I were being accused of killing our baby. I cried because I felt like nobody was listening to me. And I cried because this is what pro-choicers said would happen when Roe was overturned. Everything that they said would happen was happening.
Miscarriages were being investigated as murders. Children were being forced to give birth to their rapists' babies. Babies were being born and discarded in trash cans and dumpsters. And we have not done a damn thing about any of this. My husband and I were released, but not before being told that we weren't allowed to leave town due to the fact that we were being investigated.
I read articles about the women in Texas suing the state because of the anti-abortion laws. I read about the 13-year-old girl who gave birth to a baby she did not want. I read about the 11-year-old who had to flee her home state to get an abortion, only for the doctor who performed the abortion to get fined. I felt sick to my stomach reading these stories. And once again, my sorrow was replaced with anger.
I thought back to what I thought was one of the happiest moments of my life, Roe V Wade being overturned. In my mind, the happy smiles that I saw were suddenly replaced with evil snarls. The champagne that was popped was replaced with acid. The bubbles became heavy glass and they fell to the ground. My god, what have we done?
I forwarded the articles to my husband and I saw all color leave his face. The night after our interrogations, we ate dinner in silence. After knowing this man for 17 years and being married to him for seven of those years, he didn't need to talk for me to know what he was thinking. And I agreed with him:
Overturning Roe V Wade was a huge mistake."
-Constance, 37.

Men are not equal to women. Men are expendable. That’s why they’re the ones sent to die in war. Millions of them could die without it having a severe impact on society. In fact, if all males died tomorrow, the human population would still be able to recover (thanks to frozen sperm).
Women’s ability to create life is what make us inherently more valuable than men. That’s why they fight so hard to control our reproductive capabilities. It gives them a sense of power and importance.
They are not important. They know when they look down at their useless nipples that female is the default. That this is a female world. Their sole purpose - to provide sperm - is only meant to complement the female.

In a solo concurring opinion, Thomas says the court should reconsider rulings that protect contraception, same-sex relationships, and same-sex marriage.

“If it is your personal belief, based on whatever, that there is no legitimate basis for abortion — even if you're in the hospital and you're bleeding out, even if you're told that you have cancer and chemotherapy is necessary and therefore an abortion is necessary — no matter what, you get to make that decision. I might not agree with it, but you get to make that decision.
But you, and those who support your particular point-of-view, cannot dictate that decision to every other woman.
In a pluralistic democracy like ours, the court in Roe v. Wade said the government is not going to make this decision.
If these Supreme Court justices and the very extreme Republicans who support them really cared about children, why don't they support health care for every pregnant woman in our country? Why do they let a big state like Texas deny health care, because they won't expand Medicaid, to mothers who want to have their children? And they therefore have the highest rate of maternal mortality in America.
Why don't they support child care, so that, if a mother is going to be forced to give birth to a child, that mother will be able to support herself and her child because she will be able to go out and work. And the list goes on.
This is not, at the end of the analysis, about anything other than controlling women with some kind of patriarchal view of society that they want to impose on the rest of us.
Democrats need to be willing to point out the extremism that has captured the Republican Party and to make it clear this is not about special interest groups. This is not about one group of Americans vs. another. This is about the rise of authoritarianism within our own country.
This is a direct attack on our democracy.
Americans took for granted that, despite opposition to reproductive choice, it would not go away.
There was a complacency, an acceptance.
During the 2016 campaign, I gave speeches about this. I talked about the dangers that would be posed to this right and other rights if my opponent were elected, because of the promises he'd made to the extreme factions within the Republican Party.
And, honestly, people didn't believe me.
Their attitude was, oh, that sounds really farfetched. That will never happen.
Oftentimes, in politics, the entrenched status-quo position is not as vigorously defended as the opposition position. And so those who wanted to overturn Roe, those who wanted to turn the clock back, were very motivated. And those who said, oh, well, that's settled law, including people sitting on the court, when asked in their confirmation hearings, gave every reason to reassure the American public — telling us they follow past precedent.
Either they have had some kind of brain change, or they were deliberately misleading the American people.
So, yes, the energy was on the side to overturn. Now I hope that energy will shift to the side of those of us who want to protect the progress we have made.
This is a direct assault on the dignity, rights, and even lives of American women.
It is heartbreaking to see this court dominated by extremists who do not represent the majority of Americans, men and women, who believe that this is a right that women should have — doing all they can to set the clock back.
This is the first time, perhaps, that I'm aware of, that a right will actually be taken away.
So, what can be done?
There has to be a recognition that, as horrible assault as this is on women's rights, it is perhaps only the beginning of this court trying to undo so much of the progress of the last 50 years.
Now saying there is no right to privacy — that Roe was decided wrongly.
Roe followed a case called Griswold, which struck down a law prohibiting married heterosexual couples from having access to contraception.
It served as the basis of decriminalizing consenting sexual behavior between gay people who were adults and able to express their own feelings toward one another. It certainly underpins gay marriage. So, this is a real threat to our democracy, not just to the rights of women.
I don't care what political party or religion you are — the question is, who decides?
Is the government going to be in your bedroom?
Is the government going to be making these decisions?
We're only at the beginning of this terrible travesty that this court has inflicted on us.
The ultimate goal of the decision is truly to erase the progress that women have made from the last 150 years.
There are so many things about it that are deeply distressing, but women are going to die.
Women will die.
These justices were selected for this very purpose.
You’ve got to give the other side lots points for their relentlessness, their total commitment to getting what they want done, regardless of who is hurt by it and regardless of who is stripped of rights.
Everybody now understands that this is not necessarily the only effort that we're going to see this court undertake to turn back the clock on civil rights and gay rights and women's rights beyond abortion.”
—Hillary Clinton

Hi ❤️❤️❤️ actually pro lifers are very charitable to single mothers and we offer them a lot of support via churches and charities. You people just don't wanna rely on us because a) you hate Christians and b) you just want an excuse to harm children
Well hello. This is an unexpected response I got from a Christian user about the Prolife/forced birther movement not caring about women who have to have abortions. I find this funny because
A.) No where in my post about forced birthers did I say anything about Christians (telling on yourself today, huh?)
B.) I genuinely want you to name 3 national pro life organizations that help with women after having the child financially. Not just organizations that let women see the fetus's ultrasound or heartbeat so the woman feels guilty or pro life organizations that gather in front of abortion clinics to scream at teenage rape victims, but organizations that give finacial support for hospital bills, daycare, baby supplies, pre-school, AND school/college expenses or scholarships (cause you know, children are an lifelong commitment). I could only find one that remotely helps with that and of course they have this tibbit as a part of their mission statement:
Tumblr media
So by all means enlighten me on how forced birthers actually care about life but seem to not give a shit after the fetus comes into this broken world.
Y'all aren't prolife. Y'all are pro fear and pro fetus. Oh and by the way, the bible literally says that life doesn't begin until the first breath. Of you actually read it, you'd know that.
Tumblr media
Oh and P.S., just because your religion says you can't do something, doesn't mean we all have to follow your rules. Separate the church from state and if you don't like them, don't get them.

Abortion is a fundamental right because because everyone has the right to bodily autonomy. No one can use your body without your consent.
And before anyone says, ‘Sex is consent,’ it isn’t. Even if it was, consent can be withdrawn. If you initially consented to donate an organ to somebody, but then changed your mind and said you didn’t want to, the doctors can’t strap you down and take it anyways.
You can’t even take an organ from a dead person if that person didn’t consent in life. It’s sad that now, many pregnant women are seen as less than cadavers. They’re seen as broodmares and incubators.
Pregnancy and childbirth always carry a risk of permanent bodily damage and death, but the forced-birthers don’t care because pregnant women are no more than walking fetus incubators to them.
Because they can’t imagine that women should like to demand life, liberty and pursuit of happiness for themselves.

Just a reminder that your male f/o would get a vasectomy so that you didn’t have to use harmful birth control.
While I’m at it, if you support what the Supreme Court has done, unfollow this blog right now. Better yet, block me.
