I’ve been quiet, but with the possibility of Roe

I’ve been quiet, but with the possibility of Roe v Wade being overturned, I am actively trying to calm the angry fire within me.

I was pretty staunchly pro-life my whole life… until I got pregnant. I could write chapter after chapter about how life-changing pregnancy is, but it still wouldn’t resonate with you until you’ve experienced it.

It was a huge decision for me to have our second child. I won’t get into all the details of my second pregnancy, but you can read it on my blog.

Cliff notes: I went in for my first ultrasound at 8 weeks and the tech couldn’t find a heartbeat. It’s been almost three years and I still can’t write that sentence without crying.

I had a missed miscarriage. A pregnancy loss. Almost a month after my baby had passed, I decided to get a D&C because my body was not miscarrying naturally.

A D&C is the same procedure as an abortion.

Hospitals who won’t perform abortion procedures are also limiting the options for those who have miscarriages.

Had I not elected to get a D&C, I could have eventually developed a fatal infection.

It’s not just abortion rights. It’s women’s health rights.

There are so. many. reasons. women decide to have an abortion procedure. Maybe their baby won’t live outside the womb. Rape. They’re homeless. They have suffered from postpartum depression, anxiety, or psychosis.

Maybe the life-altering experience of going through pregnancy and birth is not what they want.

When I was suffering from postpartum depression, I honestly could not have imagined going through another pregnancy again at that time. If that had happened, I would have wanted the CHOICE for my future, because I was already crying in all the closets in my house.

For this being the “land of the free,” the government forcing me to birth a child, THE most life-altering thing I’ve ever experienced, sure doesn’t feel very “free” to me.

Feels a little “Handmaid’s Tale.” 😑

And don’t even get me started on the lack of support women receive after birth. 🙄

So, this is my post to stomp my feet in protest and yell from the rooftops. Maybe with any luck, my story will resonate with someone who starts to think a little differently.
