My daughter is 17, and, thankfully, has a good head on her shoulders. But her losing access to essential healthcare options, because we live in a red state, infuriates and terrifies me.
bloxxing
if you can afford it, emigrate to somewhere less fascist.
Welliguessillgogetpants
Time to move out of a red state then

Start stocking up on Plan B!

I really want a second child and at 10week 5 day of pregnancy I learn that my feotus stop living around 6 and that I need 1/2
Melandre
A abortion because my body don't want to exploser it by itself. So at almost 12weeks I got some medication to do the trick. It was a 2/3
Melandre
Nightmare knowing I have my death baby inside me for over a week.
ToddCena
That is traumatizing. I hope you have a chance to heal and breathe. So sorry for your loss.

This oddly matches a tattoo I have. Would it be weird to get this tattooed?
ToddCena
I think it would be awesome!
jtthemediocre
If either of you feel like you need to go camping, I'm sure we can arrange a good trip.
MMVB
Just to be clear: people with a good head on their shoulder can also get pregnant and be in need of an abortion
otakon17
Doesn't matter to them, one mistake is as good as 10,000.
AttilaTheHung
Leave that shithole called US.
yogurtgoblin
Thing is, abortion procedures are the necessary methods go help after a miscarriage or other types of "failed pregnancies" when the body
yogurtgoblin
can't get rid of everything itself & needs medical intervention before infection/sepsis starts.
yogurtgoblin
So you can be pro-life & still require what is *technically* an abortion procedure to save your life. Will that still be protected or nah?

Every single thing happening right now makes me sad, what’s worse is I can’t do shit about it
ToddCena
There's a protest in my town today that she and I are going to. And I'm going to vote like my fiance's and daughters life depends on it.
Monsoonaluna
My son was born in March he was an abortion ban baby I couldn't access a clinic in time in Texas love him but life is so much harder now
Monsoonaluna
My first child almost.killed me so I was high risk and had to have a csection I was able to have my tubes removed I told.my doctor I want
Monsoonaluna
Them out now while it's still legal to do so. She laughed. I was not joking.
ToddCena
Thank you for sharing your story. And I'm glad you've found some joy in spite of a difficult situation.

Hey, you can do it and it's "Just tourism"!
BaddyOneShoe
Hi. Did we all notice the tampon wick? Sorry. Don't mean to make light of the most serious of situations. But the artist is; *Italian hands*
Rypley
I need this on a tshirt!
MBdub210
It doesn’t matter that she “has a good head on her shoulders.” Sometimes abortions is necessary, even for great moral/logical reasons.
kamkor1
Vote. Vote like your life depends on it. Because it does. Vote in every primary.
brianingram
You can do more than vote - www.runforsomething.net
rooik14
Absolutely vote, but don't *just* vote. Just voting alone won't prevent this shit from happening again. Organize.
otakon17
I have a niece who's 10. I'm thankful we're in MD but if she ever moves out of the state I worry.
buttcreambandit
Head on her shoulders or not everyone can make mistakes. Even honest ones. And contraceptives fail
ToddCena
True that. Her mother and I have a very open relationship with her. She knows that we have her back. Whatever she needs.
buttcreambandit
All you can do for now. That and have a plan incase something does happen
IHaveGreatKittenRecipes
Set up a travel fund if you can afford it. Even a wanted pregnancy can require an abortion.
nonameidea2
Maybe university in another country is the solution... let her go abroad. For example germany. Free university and good healthcare
ToddCena
She'd love to go to France. And she's a hell of an artist in this dad's eyes.

Have you thought about Canada?
ImHereToGetDownvotes
As an American, I've been thinking of Canada more and more each day.
strawb3rrymiIk
As a Canadian, liquor costs more. But Alberta is cheap. Everywhere else is expensive. We have a big housing crisis. But if you have money.
Quixus
That is not a solution. Do you really want another authoritarian regime with nukes, especially one on your border? 1/2

I understand the sentiment of wanting to leave but it will just make it easier for the nutjobs to success if all the sane people leave.
BaddyOneShoe
Yes! But even starting the process is out of a public school teacher's reach financially.
upontheturtlesback
As a Canadian: fix your country.
dragonsluvtacos
We’re considering it heavily.
ToddCena
I actually have. (I have a claim to citizenship as my mother holds dual citizenship) not currently feasible for us, but I would enjoy it.
VonZinzer
It's just a form to fill out. Come on up, we'd be happy to have you.
Etherealvalentine
So jealous of people that have that option
SeriousSeamstress
Do ya guys need a seamstress, leatherworker, sign maker, Jack of all crafts? I also know some welding and woodworking too.
VonZinzer
In fact, yes! It's on the list of skilled trades. Link next:

Abortion became immediately illegal in many states today.
SomeDetroitGuy
Here in Michigan, we had a law from the 30s which came back into effect today. Due to gerrymandering, we have never had a pro-choice
SomeDetroitGuy
governor and a pro-choice legislature at the same time.
FuzzyX
Most were trigger laws that take 30 days to come into effect.
DukeDarkwood
RvW put the protection at a federal level. Removing it puts it in the hands of states, and several were just WAITING for this chance. Sick.
tentacularfleshscape
More than several
ThomasThundersword
and for those who dont alrdy know, states literally had laws that said “when RvW is overturned this law goes into effect and abortion is ban
ThomasThundersword
like they wrote it into law in advance, just waiting.
isetprettygirlsonfire
Safety first, always cap/cork your bottles!
Jooud707
Aren't you supposed to tie the rag to the side and cap the bottle partially full so it breaks easy and actually ignites?
isetprettygirlsonfire
Fill ot full, more fuel is best. Use a thin bottle like a beer bottle, not a champagne bottle
AGiantTransWoman
Additionally use storm matches (see original design of Molotov Cocktail) Won't go out and a hell of a lot safer when coupled with a cap.
ToddCena
I feel like a celebrity commented on my post! Fiance and daughter spin fire also! Love your posts!
isetprettygirlsonfire
Hardly a celebrity haha
smellsmiketeenspirit
I should watch that movie again.
isetprettygirlsonfire
I should too!
isetprettygirlsonfire
Thats awesome you have some fire spinners in your life! What props and what part of the world. I know lots of pissed off fire ladies 1/
isetprettygirlsonfire
after this decision!
ToddCena
She does color guard for marching band, so she is quite proficient in the spinning department.
ToddCena
Midwest, and mostly just short staff right now. They are both a bit out of practice, but my daughter will often spin some.
isetprettygirlsonfire
That's great! Double staves are one of my favorite props. Have they ever considered a fire/flow festival? Great place for workshops/practice
