"Abortion saved my life." incredible reproductive justice advocate took to Twitter in response to the law change in Texas to share a whole host of people's abortion stories, to demonstrate that they were in her thoughts and to show the public the human impact of a policy change like this. Abortion granted me everything with grief, relief, excitement and every feeling under the sun," Kendra shares.
While she says she is still yet to process the trauma from being pregnant without money and immediate access to abortion services, she's grateful that she was able to travel to get one. "Thankfully, my partner at the time could pay for it because I couldn’t, and in the midst of being terrified that my future would be ripped from me I had to figure out my options in a place where there were none." "Experiencing wild pregnancy sickness, alone, and poor, I hopped in a car in October of 2018 to have an abortion in another state because I was too far along to have it performed in Texas," she captioned the post. Kendra is a writer, model and Texan woman who shared her own abortion story on Instagram after seeing the news from her home state.
So, to shine a light on the reality of these decisions, we've decided to share the stories of 12 women. These are laws decided on hypotheticals, and on what it means for conservative party progress. When we hear of these decisions being made by politicians and judges, it's easy to imagine that they are not making these choices with a woman (any woman) in mind. And it marks another piece of legislation that governs over reproductive rights, without the addition of any state or federal support for mothers, child care or financial assistance. Obviously this is a hideous outcome for women. Women will take measures into their own hands, via back-street procedures. What were these abortion-rights groups hoping to do? Well, they wanted to block the law banning the procedure after six weeks of pregnancy.įor reference, most women don't even know they're pregnant at six weeks, meaning that by the time these Texan women discover they are pregnant it will be illegal for them to have an abortion.Īnd it should be noted, historically, banning abortion has never actually stopped abortions from happening, it just makes abortions unsafe for everyone involved. Texas woke up to the arrival of the strictest anti-abortion law in the country after the US Supreme Court declined to act on a request by abortion-rights groups.
