Rape survivors should not be forced to carry their rapists‘ babies. Support survivors & their access to reproductive healthcare. #reproductivehealthcare #prochoice #supportsurvivors
In the light of, ah, recent events, I can recommend this as an excellent and thought-provoking, if somewhat dated, read.
What‘s really scary? Texas robbing women, trans & non-binary folks of reproductive health choices! Would rather be reading, but need to stand up for choice today. #womenshealth #prochoice #texansforchoice
Through sun, sleet, snow and rain —lots and LOTS of rain—Planned Parenthood is here to provide healthcare for all who need it regardless of income level. And volunteer escorts are here to help you navigate access past the protesters who want to take those rights away from you. (Did I mention all the rain? 😖)
Stopped at a local library‘s book sale on my way home from volunteering this morning.
Tiny elderly woman at the cash register: “I like your hat.”
Me, surprised and not really sure why I am: “Thank you! I volunteer as an escort at the clinic on the weekends.”
Tiny elderly woman: “Good for you, dear!”
(Silence)
Tiny elderly woman: “Can you believe we‘re still fighting this shit after all these years?”
Me: “No. No, ma‘am, I can‘t.”
😢
Spending the holiday weekend doing my small part to make sure women in the U.S. still have access to safe, affordable health care. What are YOU doing to make a difference in the world today?

I have a personal, feminist parenting blog with some friends and we‘ve written about abortion rights over the years, usually when those rights are limited and put in jeopardy. With this past week, it‘s especially important to share our thoughts, stories and fight for our rights. I‘d appreciate you giving us a read. #personal #prochoice #feminist

pickI loved this book. Reproductive freedom is something I‘ve always felt very strongly about and I‘ve researched it going back to classical antiquity. I‘m always looking for more on the subject. This book shows both perspectives. One day we women will not have to fight anymore for what is ours! #prochoice
Lady, if you are of a mind to be rid of this burden, it can be arranged. Many a midwife has plucked an unwanted seed from its mother‘s womb, even among the highborn.
Yes, and I have done a fair amount of research on it! #prochoice #medievalprochoice
